Following this period as a comic book artist, Chichoni devoted himself to painting.

He won an Academy Award as art director for the movie '' Restoration '' by Michael Hoffmann . In 2000 he published '' Mekanika '', his first collection of artworks.

He is a man of many pencils, and is capable of countless other styles hard-edged, gothic, impressionist, almost anything that might fire the imagination.
