Nicholas Casbarro was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1990. Since childhood, he had a deep love for science fiction, growing to appreciate the greats in sci-fi like Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, and many others.
He attended Northeastern University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in Boston, class of 2013.
Though he never practiced, he maintained his curiosity and love for the sciences. After college, he worked in the medical device field with a specialty in wound healing and burn treatment. In 2021, he joined a regenerative medicine company where he would spend five days a week on a plane, traveling the country to work with burn surgeons and victims. This extended period of travel changed his life. The inspiration for this series stems from Casbarro’s proclivity for intense dreams, where he often experiences sleep paralysis. The impetus to the series’ first installation came from a vivid dream he experienced while flying.
Casbarro used his time on countless flights to create the Vitalerium Series and its universe. Many characters are based on real people, who breathe life into the story. Numerous plot elements can be attributed to real-life experiences, philosophical lessons, defining events, and a thirst for knowledge in a world of rapidly advancing science.
