Glasgow-based
Italian chef Domenico Crolla both runs his restaurant Bella Napoli and creates
celebrity pizza portraits. The restauranteur/artist uses nothing more than your
basic pizza ingredients—dough as his canvas, tomato sauce and cheese to
"paint" and play with negative space—to produce each of his
well-crafted portraits. He puts his skilled hands to use to recreate the image
of musicians, actors, and international fashion icons.
Crolla's
growing collection of portraits already feature classic icons like Marilyn
Monroe and Frank Sinatra as well as current pop stars like Rihanna and Beyoncé.
Other well-known faces include fashion icons Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, and Karl
Lagerfeld. Crolla has even thrown TV personality and chef Gordon Ramsey into
the mix.
The
face that began the ongoing artistic adventure in the kitchen, though, is that
of the late martial arts and action film superstar Bruce Lee. Following this
pie, Crolla received a "thank you" note from Lee's daughter Shannon
which encouraged him to pursue his artisan craft.
He
continues to do so today, especially after receiving countless messages of
recognition and gratitude from many other celebrities.
Sa
aveti pofta de cultura!
