An Italian artist with a penchant for pets and paint has made a name for himself with his magical, hyper-realistic portraits of animals on rocks and stones collected from nature.
Roberto Rizzo, 50, was born in Naples, Italy. He attended the European Institute of Design in Milan after high school and started working as an illustrator and watercolor artist for publishing houses, before encountering “the magic of rock painting” in 1996. Today he lives and works in Málaga, southern Spain.
