Claudio Gomboli
Graphic/web designer & illustrator

Torino / Osaka

Claudio Gomboli è nato a Torino il 16 novembre 1981. Grazie a una famiglia di pittori, artisti e mercanti d'arte inizia a interessarsi molto presto alla pittura e al disegno. Da bambino, con i primi programmi a 16 colori, si ritrova a mescolare pixel come in un pointillisme digitale, pixel rossi e pixel gialli intervallati per ottenere un’impressione di arancione. Al disegno digitale, con le elaborazioni al computer, si aggiungono presto anche colori a olio, pastelli, carboncini, sanguigne e tempere. Negli anni seguenti continua a coltivare e approfondire la sua passione con studi artistici e grafici (Liceo artistico, Scienze dei beni culturali e Scuola internazionale di comics). Collabora con studi, agenzie e associazioni culturali alla creazione di diversi progetti artistici come riviste, spettacoli multidisciplinari, cineforum e incontri letterari. In Italia e successivamente in Giappone, lavora come grafico, web designer e illustratore.
