I'm an artisan and an artist, both in the sign of fantasy and a bit of weirdness. I consider myself a sculptor but the truth is that I like to "shape things" and most materials and tecniques catch my interest.
I went to a scientific-type high school and after that I got my (top grade) degree at the Fine Art Academy of Brera in Milan, Italy.

Talking about craftmanship, I started my business in 2003 and I make theatre latex prosthetics (elf ears, goblin noses, demon horns...), fantasy (and occasionally dark/gothic) clothes (mainly dresses and accessories, also custom stuff), and custom objects such as costume accessories or scenic stuff.
The website I built for my firm: http://www.neraluna.com
(yeah, did it myself, didn't I mention I like to shape things? Virtual things are still things...)

Talking about art, I "should" be a sculptor, but I also draw a lot, and sometimes I paint, because sometimes I've an urge to put my ideas and feeling into something (put it out of me, so to speak), and drawing and painting is faster than sculpting.
My style is generally figurative, kinda "realistic but illustrative" if that makes sense...
I have a website for my art but at the moment I'm working to rebuild it so for now I'll just give my DeviantArt account, that is a bit messy but at least is decently up-to-date.

Goals in life: growing my present activity, plus developing (in the next years, not all at once, of course!) some business projects that involve
- dark/gothic alternative fashion,
- producing fantasy/dark/gothic miniatures and ornaments,
- entering the art market with a certain part of my production (I'm aware that part of it should go to other fields, such as illustration, for example),
- something still hazy about rock/metal/punk music (ok this is vague... I know I'd like to do something in this direction but I also know I have enough to work on with the other projects, for now! ^^)

Aims with this website: getting a better idea of the market, enrich my knowledge and experience by watching other professionals, getting contacts with people who could be interested in working with me, or that I could wish to hire for various kinds of works.

If you wish to contact me, for work or just for exchanging experiences and opinions, feel free to pm or email me.
Please consider that I'm not going to accept work requests for free. I'd like to, but I've little time and bills to pay.
Anyway, I'm willing to talk about custom works, I take commissions, and I'll always try to help if I can.
