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.

Fantastic! I love anything Riven-esque. They're working on the new game, Uru, now: I think you should be on the team; great imagination and excellent execution. I'll vote for this.

Great show of imagination. Love the entire picture. Especially the way the textures are caarried through on all the trees and then again on the buildings. Excellent use of lighting.

Carlo, you are simply the best! What a beautiful gift for my eyes ;) Thank you, Carlo. You know for what... :)) Mirek. My VOTE, of course.

Magnifico!!! Truly a fantastic scene and image Carlo! The modeling, textures and lighting is flawless, something we all are used to when it comes to "Sbleci standards", but what really catches my eyes and adds extra to this piece, is all the bent pieces of wood and overall irregularity. Gets the highest possible score and my vote! :)

Carlo, this is absolutely fantastic work. This image that you have not just put together, but beautifully crafted shows what amzing skill you have in putting scenes together, modelling and working with textures. The level of detail is excellent and the DOF along with the atmosphere is very well executed. Hats off too you for this one, excellent!. ---- Scott.

Don't know much about puzzle-games, this image reminds me more of Morrowind than anything, like the town of Tel Aruhn! It's a wonderful render, really well done. Flawless... I love the woodwork, the railings and such...!
