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.

Luca, this is soo interesting... I know you usually don't do this kind of stuff, but I can understand it, and appreciate the effort. The Viggo M. look is amazing... the guy really resembles him, CONGRATS on this ! I think on the other hand that is all too easy, all too much light. I suppose one could struggle to get rid of nasty habits like this... I recall when I quit smoke, something like 20 yrs now... I had dreams in which I dreamed of smoking that FUKD cigarettes... So, no, I can't think that quitting coke is so much easy, but that's the commissioner told you to do.... I would have put some sort of dark side to the image, remembering that's not easy to get rid of this habit, and then to remember also that there are dark forces within us that are going to be bound and constanly dominated to keep up a decent path in life...
