DANIELE SERRA
Daniele Serra is an Italian illustrator. Three-time winner of the British Fantasy Award as Best Artist, and finalist at the World Fantasy Award 2021, his work includes book covers, internal illustrations and comic adaptations for such highly esteemed authors as Stephen King, Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Joe R. Lansdale and Joyce Carol Oates.
His main influences and inspiration come from the weird world of horror literature from H.P. Lovecraft and William H. Hodgson, Ridley Scott's films, Japanese horror and the works of Clive Barker.
Through his keen fascination with horror fiction, dating back to before his career started, he soon established his own distinctive style. Playing on striking contrasts between bright colours and darker tones, his work blends curves and shadows to create deeply atmospheric artworks, for the most part using watercolours, as well as India ink and charcoal.
As a comic artist he has worked with DC Comics, Image Comics, BOOM! Studios, Titan Comics, Seraphim INC, and more. He has illustrated more than 300 novel covers released by labels all around the world. Daniele's own art book was published by PS Publishing, with an introduction by Clive Barker.
