Visual Art – Montréal

I like define myself as \"Visual Interpreter\" or \"Transmedia Artisan\": my goal is to translate visually a concept. I started drawing very early and, above all, I have been attracted rapidly by the computerized graphics. Indeed, I did my first experiments on an Atari St back in 1986, publishing later my first works on specialized magazines. To create album covers and work with the bands allows me to keep on my relation with the musical environment that represents one of the biggest passions in my life. As often happens, I started drawing logos and put together collages for demos of local bands. I don’t follow a single procedure to realize my pieces. Working on artworks, I involve a mix of different media and softwares: some pieces grow out only through the pencils, others are the outcomes of computer graphics, some else come out from a mix between handcrafted and digital resources. Over the years, I have designed hundreds of artworks, t-shirt and packaging of all types, most of these for the music industry.
