For as long as Giulio Rossi can remember, art has been his passion. The self-taught artist and designer started out experimenting with acrylic paint, ink and charcoal but recently discovered digital art, and with it a whole new way to express his creativity. From his studio in L'Aquila, Italy, he creates portraits of women which are slick and sexy if somewhat strange. In February 2014 Madonna chose to feature one of his artworks in her Art For Freedom project.
