In the age of the finger, when digital devices are all controlled with subtle flicks and pinches, the uniqueness of one's own fingerprint can be easily forgotten. Digital artist il Dito (Italian for finger) takes this idea further by stating that we live in digital lives, hiding behind masks, afraid of our own fragile fingerprints. Enter Ditology ... his series of finger tip portraits, capturing likeness ranging from Steve Jobs and the Dalai Lama to himself, all on the tiny finger size scale.

The simplification of characters works like a charm, their likenesses easily recognizable, despite being limited to a finger-tip shape. Dito explores a wide variety of subjects, showcasing just how limitless his chosen medium is. Hair, masks, make-up and glasses all add in the subtle details that make his tiny portraits visually huge.
