2. What is Alter-Portfolio?
This section of Portfolio contains all that artworks I made only for passion, to do some friends’ favour, competitions
or simply self-ordered by myself.
Mostly, they are designs and gadgets connected with the music’s world, for me a unfailing inspiration’s source and
passion for what I do everyday. Visualizing the songs through images, atmospheres and colours, means to show a
part of me, my thoughts, my frames of mind.
Thanks a lot to:
Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars, Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, MGMT, Ben Harper, Dredg, U2, Soundgarden,
Audioslave, Paramore, Supergrass, Editors, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, R.E.M., Deftones, Placebo, Daughtry, Gossip,
Dead Weather, TV on the Radio, and many others.
Actually, I feel the priority to realize one of my biggest dream: working for the music business.
The section ‘Paintings and illustrations’, contains artworks classified by style and paint techniques, rather than the
chronological order. Some periods have been characterized by the material use of the colour: I used it for some
replicas of famous artworks, life drawings and illustrations; other artworks are monochromatic, more stylized and
closer to graphic design.
