BIOGRAPHY
Claudio Martino, aka ClaM, was born 30th of November 1984 in Reggio Calabria , Italy.
At an early age he was already showing his innate artistic talent: his dowry for pencil drawing and modelling emerges during the first years of elementary school.
Particularly, his modelling skill starts creating extraordinary proportionate and detailed naturalistic subjects using a great variety of basic materials: from the classic "Pongo" to the paraffin, from the aluminum foil to the kneaded eraser.
His technique in modelling soon develops a wider range of subjects and on various materials such as plasticine, chalk and Papier-mâché.
He attended high school specializing in artistic education "Mattia Preti", where his talent was recognized in more than one occasion and his work set to inspire the younger students. He obtained the diploma with honors in 2003.
Claudio graduated magna cum laude in "New Technologies of Art" at the "Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera" in Milan. During his academic career, he took a new challenge performing 3d scolpture and continuing the mastery of the pencil drawing technique.
He has experience as an illustrator, in particular he drew covers and graphics for the folk band "MATTANZA" and for private clients.
He worked since 2004 as character designer and modeller for several companies: MenteZero, Shangrilabs srl, DGform srl, digi.Art.
