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.

hyperborea
This is one hell of an image! Powerful and beautiful composed with a great POV. The monochrome colouring makes the whole atmosphere one of danger!

I agree with hyperborea, this is powerful and very nicely done. The lighting gives it a drama and sense of foreboding. I like the fog and mist too, they works nicely taking the scene out of the computers digital grasp and adding a finished artistic touch.

Grande lavoro! E poi la citazione di Lovecraft... una grande interpretazione del Visionario di Providence! Gli edifici sono bellissimi, incredibilmente dettagliati e ben modellati, coscome le "astronavi". Ottimo anche l'effetto dei retropulsori, e la nebbia-fumo (suppongo sia post) semplicemente fantastica. Il seppia, poi, aggiunge atmosfera. L'unica cosa che non mi convince al 100% il riflesso sull'astronave in primo piano, confonde un po' la parte inferiore. A parte questo dettaglio direi infinitesimale, l'immagine veramente splendida!

Grand piece Carlo! The POV and DOF in the piece really gives the buildings enormous proportions! The smoke and atmosphere only adds to the mysterious feeling of this place. Awesome work!!!
