He also designed stage sets and computergenerated avatars for theater and French and Italian television. In 1981 the first episode of Ranxerox was published which is by far his most famous creations. Liberatore is now known worldwide for its hyper-realistic style, and his virtuosity in drawing women and nudes. His unusual sense of aesthetics, his mastery of form and proportions as well as his taste for disruptive backgrounds make him one of the most emblematic authors of his generation. Liberatore has lived and worked in France since 1982.
