I was born in 1991 in Como, a small town in northern Italy. I studied design and artistic drawing and graduated with honours from the Politecnico di Milano, where I acquired a deep knowledge of art history and a wide range of drawing techniques. For over ten years, I have been working as an illustrator, concept artist and graphic designer, which has allowed me to refine my sense of observation, my technical precision and my ability to transmit artistic knowledge. At the same time, I have explored different forms of expression — live drawing, ceramics, embroidery, collage, wall decoration — which feed into a rich and adaptable creative approach. Currently, I am developing and illustrating a children's book of my own creation, and since April, I have been collaborating with a French writer to illustrate a second story entitled “The Song of the Island.” My work often involves mixed media techniques, blending various materials to create vibrant and engaging illustration. Today, I wish to put my versatility and sensitivity at the service of projects that are both poetic and demanding, in which I can contribute fully while continuing to evolve and grow as an artist and creator.
