Arthur Rosa World

 
A showcase of 3D art from Portuguese artist Artur Rosa.

Artur Rosa was born in 1964, in Portugal. He’s married, one son and lives near the sea. Artur was a fan of comic books throughout his childhood and teenage years. He started with DC and Marvel and slowly began shifting to european style comics, like Bilal, Moebius, Segrelles, etc. Influenced by this environment, he tried when he was about 20 to capture in paper and pencil some of the images that were wandering in his mind. After creating about 30 images of a somewhat surrealistic genre, he stopped, only to restart 22 years later, in late 2006, partially motivated by the landscapes of SimCity, the city simulation game he was strongly addicted to during several months.

His favorite genres are landscape, scifi, surrealism and fantasy. He likes to view his images as frames from a story, trying to make the viewers imagine the story behind and think of what happened before and what will happen after that single moment in time that the image captured. Most of his images are born from words that he hears or reads somewhere, or from concepts that suddenly spring to his mind. Some are born from previous images, as he likes to think that one image always contains seeds for more images.
