Vincent Pompetti  

Vincent Pompetti was born in 1977 from an Italian family installed in Liege(Belgium). After his studies ended in 1998, he begins a career in comic strip, mainly in France. His passions go for writing science fiction stories and also historic. His interest for the geopolitics, Espionage, "film noir" , grow up when he met the scriptwriter Tarek in 2004, with whom he makes numerous albums on this theme (Rasputin, Sir Arthur Benton, The Gallic Wars)

At the same time as His painter’s temperament revealed in fine art school develops; exposing on the theme of the years 40-50, Vincent plays on violent contrast between light and shadow, and pastel colors, to return at the same time the strength of the life and also his contemplative side. Vermeer, the impressionists and Pre-Raphaelites, as well as the americans illustrators of the 20th century (Frank Frazetta, N.C.Wyeth, or Maxfield Parrish ) are a source of inspiration since a long time.

Vincent Pompetti likes as well working on thematic as the knights of the Round Table, the Middle Ages, the charm of the years 50-60, or suggestive myths as the Atlantis.Depuis on 2010 he paints so sometimes for four hands with his colleague Tarek, also painter of street art, and some common paintings(clothes) are born. The careers(quarries) of draftsman and painter are now in parallel.vincent Pompetti is also scriptwriter for comics, and he is storyboarder for a movie in progress.
