BIO
I am a Senior Visual Storyteller, Storyboard Artist, and Comic Book Illustrator with over 10 years of experience in visualizing scripts for film, TV, and graphic narratives. My work has been featured in high-profile productions, including the NASA-sponsored sci-fi feature Space Racer, which was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival.
My artistic journey began in my childhood through animated films and comic books. Over time, my interest in Marvel and classic Italian comic book schools led me to a deeper exploration of the field. Drawing inspiration from masters like John Buscema, Frank Frazetta, David Finch, Dave Rapoza and Greg Smallwood, I developed a special connection with classic comic book series like Conan, Blacksad, and Indeh. Traditional inking, dynamic lines, and strong storytelling form the foundation of my style, while I continue to explore different techniques in my quest to develop my own unique style. I create my work digitally but in a traditional style and i don't use soulless AI-based tools in any of my projects.
