The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

You've got quite a few people in this picture - all of them by the ray. I don't know if they are coming or going. I don't know what the people are doing by the light. the People by the light look like they are at a tailgate party and don't even notice the abduction... Suggestions: Bend their bodies and neck to make them appear they are watching what is going on. If they are frightened, they should be crouched instead of standing. If it is a fearful event, It would of bettered your picture if you would have a few people closer to the viewer so we could read the emotion. With that many people, you would think one would be so scared he'd be running super fast. - I hope you like my comments, I'm happy to read an artist like you is making some money at doing what we all as artist love to do. I have put my art love on the shelf for many years I just recently new I had to do it for my own happiness. even though I made some suggestions, it doesn't take away I really enjoyed your art. Perfect 5

Well looks good but maybe a mroe dramatic angle will bring it out. Soemthign to try abotu where the fence is looking up seeign the peopel go up to the sky. Might nto work for the book cover format but hey.

Kool stuff Luca, beam me up Scotty...I'm next in the Que for this fun ride, well done ! ~Cheers~ :o)

The landscape looks very convincing, I dissagree with mikeerson about the people, it seems to me that they could either be frozen by the beam or they're like jif3d and want to go rather than run. Keep up the good work :-)
