Pop, Love, and Imagination
We share love, pop, and imagination.
Sure, it's not always easy! But respecting our differences allows us to reinvent our love and artistic journey every day."
Antonella Tolve
Advertising graphics and pop artist
I am Antonella, and drawing is my passion
Since I was a child, I’ve always been drawn to colours through details. As I grew, I discovered art, the great masters, their forms, and I never stopped being inspired by them.
In 2001, my first project took shape: a graphic and advertising studio. However, my creativity demanded more freedom. It didn’t want to be confined to formulas, technical programs, or rules. It wanted to be free to soar..
So, between one graphic project and another, I would indulge in creating pictograms, drawing new shapes, objects, and symbols that could express reality through art.
From this creative work, study, and exploration emerged a graphic style destined to shapemy ‘present.’.
Rino Schinco
Co-founder and Head of Sales
I am Rino and dreams and Rock’n’Roll flow through my veins.
Many dreams have been shattered, but there have always been two constants in my life: my girlfriend, now wife Antonella , and our passion for art and design.
In 2004, I decided to open a small contemporary design shop.This shop was my work; it was meant to be forever. I had 'built' it with my own hands, from assembling the shelves to arranging all the merchandise.
Then came the grand opening and all the steps that followed. That’s why I was deeply disappointed when I had to close it. Years later, I understood.
I needed to bring ‘transformation’ to my clients' spaces and lives in an alternative way, until…
Until when... PIT-POP was born,, from the dream of a young couple who poured their energy, love, and dedication into it. Antonella, the creative hand, and Rino, the pragmatic mind, are its creators.
For years, Rino watched Antonella draw, wishing her unmistakable style could reach the living and working spaces of many people. Then one day, he suggested to Antonella to transform PIT-POP in a mix between art through design transform PIT-POP into a blend of art through design, translating her digital works onto decorative design pieces—not just canvases but also decorative plates, throw pillows, wallpaper, home accessories, and fashion items.
Thus, in 2013, PIT-POP became PIT-POP Surface Designs,a digital Pop Art project that, perfectly blending with interior decoration and beyond, gives life to decorative furnishings and everyday objects that embody its strength and ironic spirit, telling the story of our contemporary world, halfway between art and technology.
