Giovanni Baldasseroni
Highly skilled in all kinds of art and passionate from my early schooling about art education. I spent my first university year studying Philosophy in Aesthetic of Fine Art, Pisa. I then decided to continue my artistic path joining the Fine Arts Academy of Florence University.
I am a painter and engraver; and excellent hand-drawer.
In the last few years I have been using my skills by applying them in the design sector and have worked extensively with Photoshop.
My primary artistic passion is strategy and role-playing games inventing stories based on ethical-social themes with typical “anti-hero” characters. This has culminated with the completion of my personal project of sketches and graphic illustrations ready for presenting to the comic, short film and games industry. It will commence with a promotional private art exhibition at a new gallery in London this year.
To aid my career opportunities within the games industry I have recently completed a private 3D graphic course.
Recently I have been focusing on my illustration and design career working directly with design managers and private businesses.
