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.

(picks jaw back up) Brilliant! Great emotion, and an outright intense crazy sense of magical enchantment that is so refreshing to see. No cliche's here -- just 200% original kick-a** artwork! Spectacular job, mate!

I know I've already commented on this one...but I just have to add that I think I just realized why I love this one so much...you posted it on my birthday. This is just so gorgeous; I've started a whole story based on this picture. Maybe if I ever get it published, you wouldn't mind doing artwork for it? ;-P

Questa veramente bellissima, Carlo... penso, sicuramente, una delle pibella nella tua gallery. L'atmosfera, la luce, il colore... ogni cosa sembra infilarsi perfettamente nell'altra, dando al tutto un equilibrio fantastico, come fantastica (nel senso proprio della parola, ovvera da "fantasia") l'ispirazione. Complimenti, sono senza parole.
