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.

Extremely good - powerful and simple image. I'd never heard of Sant'Elia until I saw this, but from Wikipedia it looks as though his designs were very influential, although hardly any actually got built. Looking at the architecture style I thought 1920s or 30s futurism, but Sant'Elia seems to have been right in at the start of it in 1909. I found the original of this image, which has a vast dam in the background - that makes for added detail but takes away the direct impact that your image has. It's a pity that he didn't get more of his designs built - most of these would have been treasured landmarks now if they had been constructed and survived. I hope the books will be as good as their covers!
