angelo M.

I was born in 1960 in Novara, Italy and in 1979 I completed my diploma at the Varese Arts Institute (Istituto Artistico di Varese). As new technology became available I moved away from traditional drawing techniques and started to use 2D and 3D computer graphics, specialising in mechanical drawing. For the last thirty years I have been working as an illustrator for advertising and general publishing. I have also worked on drawings of architectural interiors and on the restoration and cataloging of artistic treasures. My drawings have appeared in, amongst others, publications by some of the best-known archeologists specialising in Ancient Egypt, Venice, Angkor Wat. Petra, Persia and Islamic monuments. I have drawn complete archeological sites with reconstructions of buildings, temples and necropoli. I have also worked with the aviation industry drawing concept views. I have a long-standing passion for aviation, beginning with static model-making and then taking part in exhibitions and finally writing and illustrating articles for aeromodelling magazines.
