Apart from the subjects, the technique I employ to create comics is China ink, or, to be more exact, I draw a painting table in pencil, then, I ink this table with China ink and, at the end, I give it the finishing touches in pen.
If I want to colour the painting table, I make use of coloured water down China ink.

THE WAR OF FIRE
This
is the first example of a finished strip of
mine. It is based on a theme which I love
very much and which is not new as it comes
from Jean Jacques Annaud's film, on its turn
inspired by the outstanding book by Josè
Henry Rosny. I started to draw it before the
film, when I was 16 years old.
CRUX ET GLADIUS
This
story,
set in the Middle Ages,
is a mixture of different themes:
religious fanaticism
which masks the thirst for power,
the war as its consequence,
love and death. . .
3000 D.C. TIME TRAVELLERS
Influenced
by my love for cinema and science fiction,
I started this strip and created a fantastic
story involving the hypothetic problems of
three astronauts, thrown on the earth in an
undefined future.
What will they find in a thousand years?
MORTAL
MAN
I invented him for a cartoon strip contest,
it could be considered the summary of my
thought
on my philosophical reflections
on the meaning of life.

ANCIENT
SECRETS
First
example of collaboration, in which the story
belongs to the writer and poet Skrigno while drawings are mine.
To hold fast to the title, the whole tale
is a secret to me too...
