"Alchemical Comics" is a graphic series in the genre of appropriation, in which I illustrate my mental processes and basic concepts of psychology in an ironic way. The pictorial basis of the series is alchemical treatises from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. I borrow plots, images and characters, endowing them with personalised content. I add dialogue, phrases and quotes in comic book/meme format."
