PhoenixArt is the personal project by motion graphic artist Piero Desopo.
It came to light in early 1996 as an experimental space to assemble designers from the web.

Piero Desopo studied visual arts, painting and music.
He first started his digital design career working for print and web then by 2000 he moved onto motion graphics and is now Senior Designer at Fox International Channels Italy.

You can see his conceptual, designing and animation work on the following channels: Fox, FoxCrime, The History Channel and National Geographic Channel.

Over the years Piero has won several International awards and design recognitions.
