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.

BEAUTIFUL DREAMY ATMOSPHERE, LOVE TO GO THERE MYSELF ONE DAY

Carlo, bellissima. Amo moltissimo Erice (ci ho anche iniziato una storia d'amore, per cui per me avrsempre un'atmosfera magica) e sei riuscito a cogliere il bagliore del sole della Sicilia, il modo in cui rende le case, gibianche, quasi abbaglianti. L'uso della luce stupendo, coscome i materiali, la composizione e il post. (Mi piace moltissimo l'uso "selettivo" dell'AA -- almeno, immagino che la sgranatura dei materiali in alcuni punti e non in altri sia dovuta a questo). In pi come gidicevo, hai toccato una mia corda particolare... :o)

Wow, Belissima indeed! I wish I could have views like this in my locality here in Southern California =). The colors and the lights are oh, so nice. And the soft blur makes it so fresh and dreamy.

Dear Carlo, I love this picture as it reminds me of my home. The blue is very nice in there. The branch in the foreground makes it feel like you are looking from behind one of those windows as in the alley. Very beautiful, thank you. Nina
