My name is Guia Colombo, and I am an illustrator with a background in Illustration and Animation from IED ( Istituto Europeo di Design ), where I graduated with my thesis project Vakram. My work primarily focuses on concept art and character design, developed through a mostly realistic style that emphasizes strong contrasts and meticulous attention to detail. I am particularly interested in creating images with a tangible, almost material presence, where forms feel grounded and alive. I work with both traditional and digital media. In traditional illustration, I mainly use pens and fineliners, producing dense, chaotic, and highly detailed linework; I also occasionally work with watercolor, especially for naturalistic subjects. In digital painting, my approach becomes more controlled and precise, pushing realism and texture to enhance the sense of physicality within the image

I collaborated with ENPA Progetto Spagna, a volunteer association dedicated to rescuing greyhounds from Spain and supporting their adoption in Italy. My role involved creating realistic analogue portraits of the rescued greyhounds, which were then offered to adopters. The proceeds from the artwork directly contributed to funding the association’s rescue and adoption activities.
