In painting, the famous exhibition Satchi & Satchi in the gallery of the Royal Academy in London in 1997 was definitely a turning point for him.

Their influence can be felt in the grotesquely emphasized physicality, optical reflection and in the exaggerated realistic depiction that can be observed in the paintings of Tommaso Beto.
