Soooooo................

For those of you who are interested about my person, here a couple of informations. First of all:

...this is me - airbrushing a t-shirt.

I am born in Pavia, Italy the 11th December 1965, Sagittarius.

I have graduated in arts at the "Liceo Artistico" in Milano but this was many (MANY!) years after the first experiences in painting/drawing.

The first impression of painting I can recall is of an "oil on canvas" when I had to ask my mother to lead my hand to sign the work. I was about three.......I was painting abstract at that time, letting big drops of colour come down through the canvas!

A big change in my life was when I left Italy to transfer to Vienna, Austria.

An important thing about me you may want to know is that I love bikes! Big, fat, powerful bikes like this one:

This is my own jewel, a Harley-Davidson FXR model from 1989 whith major changes and a airbrush work, all done by myself.

Even if I love H-D I also appreciate other brands, as long as they show a beautiful airbrush work!!(he, he...)

Following, some of my friends and colleagues which I have met on the road:

From left to right: Gerhard Kempf, Peter Bardeck, best friend and colleague Richard Smutny, myself and Juraj "mad" Maxon at our exibition in the gallery "Avenida de Los Artistas" in Vienna.

This is Giorgio Uccellini a wonderful artist and friend with italian roots living in the United Kindom. I personally think no one is painting t-shirts with such a quality! If you don't believe me, please check his homepage.

Oh, he also gave me the surname "Barbarossa" wich means redbeard (the pirate...) Thanks my friend, I sure like it!

Here I am with Scott Jacobs (man, this guy is the authorized Harley-Davidson artist!). He is portraying bikes with unequalled quality and you will find his works in form of posters or prints in the best H-D shops worldwide!

On the right side - showing even mor hair than me - Craig Fraser: What shall I say about the best custom painter America has know up to now? This guy will make (is making) history in the custom world! Don't miss his page - and his instructional videos.

Mainrad Froschin (on the left) from Germany is my favourite hyper-realistic painter. If you ever have the opportunity to follow a workshop with him, you will never paint the same way again! He has wonderful videos sold on his page.

Michael Leonhard is a young artist wich is mastering the art of Car-Design. Actually people are liking so much his designs that they let custom cars be built after his drawings!!!
Andreas Veith and me before a beautiful graffiti. (Sorry I don't know wo made that) Andreas is following interesting surrealistic paths in his paintings, inspired by the master himself - Salvador Dalí! He has a beautiful homepage too!
