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.

Postwork or not, it's a great picture, a warm and soft mood. Especially the colours are really beautiful.

Hi Carlo! Especially the rays of light and sun. I am feeling warmth... Great depth and sand texture you added... Mmmm... maybe not Myst-ish but mystic. Thank you for positive vibrations. Thank you = VOTE :) Mirek

Aye, the foliage and trees are awesome... Perhaps the post-texturing washed out the depth a bit, but it's still well done!

Ecco che arrivo tardi ancora. Pazienza. Mi stupisci sempre, non hai idea di quanto apprezzo la versatilitche dimostri sapendo passare da un'ambientazione a un'altra cosradicalmente diversa mantenendo una qualitelevatissima. Il caos della natura almeno per me, la cosa pidifficile da rendere in Bryce, e davanti a questa immagine non posso che essere ammirato. Le pennellate per "sporcare" l'atmosfera e sovraesporre la luce del sole sono un capolavoro. Un voto e peccato che non posso cliccare anche "excellent" :) __ Sai gicome la penso sulla questione Bryce/postwork, quindi sono strafelice che tu l'abbia messa qui.
