- The gloves used by Omar Hassan to paint his creations lie on the ground in his studio.
- Hassan says boxing has shaped him as a person and influenced him artistically.
- He calls his art series 'Breaking Through Milano''.
- His paintings sell from 8,000 to 40,000 euros, which he calls 'a great satisfaction, but not the goal.''
- Hassan punches the canvas to paint his creations in his studio in Milan, Italy.
- He was born in Milan to an Italian mother and Egyptian father, creates the works by dipping his glove in paint, and punching the canvas stretched over cardboard to keep it from breaking.
- Hassan, a 29-year-old artist and boxer, has combined his two passions, with the goal to bring the disciplines closer.
