The Joker - ©Versace Home Artwork

After many years working around the world drawing for Disney, Warner Bros. and many other major studios, Garotto took it upon himself to gain experience doing multifaceted projects such as work for samba schools creating carnival parade floats in Brazil, bespoke handmade furniture in Argentina, or large-format plaster, stone and wood sculptures around the world. Many of his acclaimed artwork were collaborations with other brands or artists of a wide range of styles and concepts such as when he designed clothing and apparel for Warner Bros., merchandise of all kinds for motorcycle clubs and TV shows or explored working with visual street artists. Until now, his latest collaborative partnership had been with excellent Disney animator, Tony Fernández, bringing some of Tony's sketches, drawings and concept art to “life” with three-dimensional form and texture in unique handmade sculptures, that merge together Tony’s creativity with Garotto’s superb craftsmanship working with different materials and techniques Once such undertaking was completed, being a huge fan of fashion, both pret-a-porter and haute couture, he decided to start creating art inspired by and paying homage to influential fashion designers of his time, conceptualizing each piece of art either according to his own imagination or a fusion combining other artistic visions. He has started off with a tribute to ©Versace, comprising collages on canvas and sculptures, using only high-quality materials, officially licensed fabrics, wallpaper and wall patterns from the ©Versace fashion and home decor collections. Currently, he has joined forces with Corner4art for the exclusive worldwide distribution of his multi-awarded work under the brand name Garotto Art.
