Illustrator and graphic designer, he published several books of graphics, comics and fiction, realized sexy pin ups and psychedelic posters, all influenced by or inspired to the 60s pop cultures.
Passionate about comics and illustration since he was a child, he started to work professionally- as a freelance designer and illustrator - as early as 1990, developing during the years a very personal style, yet influenced by pop-art, psychedelic late-60s graphics and by artists like Guido Crepax, Guy Peellaert, Nicholas Devil, and the American illustrators Bob Peak e Peter Max.
Max joined the roman Mod Scene in 1991, and his way of drawing began to evolve into a 360° Sixties-oriented style. For the roman Mods he creates the newsletter "Keep On Trekkin'” and produces an industrial quantity of drawings and cartoons till 1994, while publishing illustrations on various local and national magazines.
Specializing later in pin-up illustration, he moved to London in 1998, where - influenced by the local Mod/60s Scene - completed his graphic style with loads of sophisticated details. He came back to his homeland in 2003 and started to produce new material. With his wife, Kristina, opened Ultrapop Publishing in september 2005, producing high-quality, limited edition books and pop-psychedelic posters. After closing Ultrapop at the end of 2008, Max continued to work as a freelance illustrator.
In 2010 he’s celebrating 20 years of Mod-60s illustrations.
