Gianfranco Bianchi is the Chief Creative Officer of Xavatar. He is the creator of the original Xavatar avatars, the artistic look and feel of the company and The Xavatar show also serving as co-creator of the show.
He is a multi-dimensional visual artist, learning and embracing all the ways one can tell a story visually. He started his career creating still architectural visualizations that became animations, visual effects for films, music videos and short films. At the same time his illustrations became comic books and concept art pieces who then turned into motion graphics and frame by frame animations. He understood that as a visual artist everything can become an important single art piece or one of many styles and techniques that can become something entirely new.
His work has taken him around the globe on location and through festivals that have awarded him best in show, published his comic books as well as fashion editorials. He also spent a few years volunteering his time to TEDx in Switzerland and Monte-Carlo as a stage designer and animator. He is now in Switzerland working with one of their Opera houses to bring a first in the world interactive experience through the app he is coding for them using his skills in 3D, animation, illustration, world building and augmented reality.
