I was born and raised in Italy and I work at graphics and advertising design. I started drawing comics with pencils, brushes and inks since I was a kid, taking inspiration from Roberto Raviola (aka Magnus) and Sergio Toppi, two of the greatest artists of all time, in my opinion.
In the following years I have engaged myself to create surreal landscapes using airbrush, enamel paint and various mixed media, until I bought an Apple computer and discovered software such as Bryce, Painter and Adobe Photoshop which are now, along with a Wacom tablet, my favorite tools to bring to life my ideas.
Fantasy and Sci-Fi are both my favorite genres. You'll probably notice that I'm a big fan of Myst-Riven saga. Actually, after the Internet there are many other sources of inspiration to look than was possible in previous years; There is a huge number of artists from which to draw ideas and learn to improve my work, but some people still inspire my work: Roger Dean, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, H.R. Giger, H.P. Lovecraft, J.R.R. Tolkien, to name a few. Hope you enjoy my work and come back soon.

This is great. I can't find anything to critique, so I'll just say I love it.

I hate it when people post photographs in the Bryce Galleries trying to pass them off as Bryce renders!... Just kidding, I'd know that ground texture anywhere. Astonishingly real. Pics like this are why I own Bryce. Congrats!

Nice work, good textures - water, shore and dock are working really well.

Some people have a gift for making all the haze and sky settings in Bryce look and feel like real weather happening in a real place. Yup - you are definitely one of those folks. I like the subtle colors too - very elegant, understated work.

Looks Great, I think the Background is Vue d' Espirit Image, cause Bryce does not make such realistic looking sky's. :-) Art

Very good work. Love the lighting and the textures you have used and the scene layout is also very good. Well done. ---- Scott.

What a wonderful scene. Dragongirl is right - so very real, but ethereal at the same time. This picture gives me a wonderful and strange feeling. Thank you

Awonderful piece and refreshing to see someone pick a realistic subject to depect rather than reflective balls in the sunset. Tassteful, well thought out and realistically depicted scene which should make us all jealous. Perhaps a lamp over the door would have added additional realism but i am really grasping to say anything critical of this work. Great and inspiring
