Biography

Hi,
I am Davide and I am a visual development and background artist from Rome, Italy.

I have a background in architecture and comic-art: I got my MA degree in Architecture at Roma Tre University (IT) and I then specialized in 3D Architecture Visualization, working as a freelance 3D artist for architectural projects.
Later on, I attended the Drawing and Comics Techniques three years course at the Scuola Romana dei Fumetti (IT) and I then worked as a freelance comic-artist and illustrator.

I am now working as a freelance background artist, with a strong accent on colors and composition.
My passion resides in painting with lights and colors and I wish to be able to work on projects where I can fully explore and develope my skills.
