Artist Post - Alberto Seveso

Alberto Seveso is a freelance illustrator who works with Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create ethereal, stunning portrait images. Many of his pieces seem to be used as title pages for articles, books, and as advertisements. His preferred style began with a fascination for skate deck graphics and metal band cd covers, and from this grew a career in illustration.

A common theme in his work is liquidity, and maybe from that, transformation. The subjects, whether specific or not, become translucent, and are bursting metaphorically with flowers, organic forms, flat forms of color, and often colored smokes. Individuals are made up of many parts that aren't visible to the outside, and I feel that Seveso's art kind of reflects the personal interior of his subjects. Some are soft, or intense, or focused on their own passion.

My reaction is pretty simple, just in that I think Seveso's work is beautiful, and consistently suggesting creativity and personality.
