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.

Your work is wonderful. A keen eye for sure. Although I would enjoy this more with vibrant color,.. it is none the less a fine, fine piece with attention to detail that inspires. Render on

This excellent image is like an old master print in duotone. This composition is a great addition to your: " The Forest of Vanishing Dreams ". CARLO TRAVERSI, you are still one of my alltime favorite artists on the entire INTERNET !!! Your work is not only awesome, it's rich with in-depth imagination. I'm thrilled to see your new work here.....this level of fine art is what makes RENEROSITY.COM a great website !!! Sometimes I feel it's going to take me 10 years to see all the great works here ( and I don't mind a bit !! ). " FAREWELL " is one fine addition to this grand website !!! _____ Signed: Robert Singletary [ SINGLETARY GALLERY pops up NO. 1 on google search ]. Wednesday June 1, 2005__7:41 A.M.
