Matte Painter Charlie Davoli is an Italian matte painter born in Singapore. The meeting of these two cultures brings a richness that is manifested in Charlie’s vision and in the balance of his compositions. After successfully performing on the indie scene as a musician until 2006, he turned to graphic design and photography. Charlie creates visual paradoxes by mixing real environments with surreal disturbances. He plays with the laws of physics to form dreamlike scenes, between nautical skies and cloudy floors. His retro-futuristic style gives a very particular rendering to his images, halfway between paintings and collages. In addition to his personal work, Charlie collaborates with prestigious brands for which he creates personalized and exclusive work, such as large format prints, advertising campaigns, or musical projects.
