A friend of mine recommended this website of an artist named Alessandro Bavari. Not so strange because we both love weird, dark, unrealistic photography with a psychedelic touch. I really enjoy the way Alessandro Bavari uses digital manipulation and creates the kind of fantasy world we sometimes dream of but are afraid to remember. It's unreal but familiar. Using different human and animal matters, objects and architecture, pictures and landscapes, fossils and materials, which join his mental museum, also strongly influenced by indo-european cultural myths and allegories as well as 14th and 15th century artists.
He studied scenography, photography, history of art and various other topics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Developing different techniques of oil, watercolors and engraving, experimenting with glue, industrial paint and exploring photographic printing techniques. Since 1993 he's been adding digital manipulation to his art, developping a personal artistic language using industrial and organic products from nature before incorporating photographic process, then computer digitalization, which leads to "a kind of contamination among the arts dissolving the boundaries which distinguish them".
