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.

I have no idea who Chris Foss is but this is an excellent image...Nice textures.

Terrific work! There's a very "paperback" cover art look to this... slap on a title and a bit of blurb and I would buy a book like this. :o)

I love Foss, and this is cool... I would put some more greebles, but then again, its just me. Great job.

As an Foss homage this is spot-on. Great textures on the building!

definite Foss feel in the colors used; nice tribute to an artist who inspired so many of us; I also have a Foss tirbute image in my Renderosity gallery.
