– You thought you had seen everything with the first 2 sketchbooks and knew the world of this great designer, Alberto Varanda? Well, Varanda Sketchbook #3 will amaze and amaze you!
– Open your eyes wide and discover the ease with which Alberto Varanda moves from one style to another with talent: This 3rd opus is full of sublime paintings in homage to both the world of comics (Elektra, Wolverine, etc.) only to Gustav Klimt. Varanda asserts himself here as a great painter with works of shadows and light in dazzling, warm or disturbing colors. The faces are always of unequaled precision and finesse.
– This subtle and bewitching drawing, delicate and powerful, is also found in his sketches of creatures, his artistic nudes, his imaginary worlds with delirious architecture, his colorful portraits and his research of characters for The Living Death, published in Stefan Wul's Les Univers collection at Ankama / Comix Buro.
– And, last but not least, his new hero, Petit Pierrot, gave birth to a more tender and childlike universe that Alberto Varanda presents to you in this sketchbook, through a gallery of small cartoon characters suggesting the childhood of superheroes .
