Margherita Gramiccia
Artist & Illustrator | Traditional and Digital Art
My name is Margherita Gramiccia, and art has been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Rome, I was introduced to the world of visual arts at an early age by my mother, a professional restorer of historical frescoes, who encouraged my creativity and placed paintbrushes in my hands long before I could fully understand where this passion would lead me.
Throughout my education, I explored a wide range of artistic techniques, including oil painting, watercolor, printmaking, and clay modeling. I later earned a Bachelor’s degree from the International Academy of Figurative and Digital Arts – Comics, specializing in realistic and authorial comic art. This experience allowed me to develop a strong foundation in drawing, visual storytelling, composition, and artistic expression.
Over the years, I have worked on a variety of creative projects, including illustrating the children’s book La piccola stella e la Terra (Efesto Edizioni), contributing cartoons and illustrations to independent online magazines, creating canvas paintings, and producing murals and street art in Rome. My paintings have also been featured in local art exhibitions.
My professional journey has since taken me into other creative industries, including cinema and audiovisual production, as well as different professional fields. Although these experiences have broadened my skills and perspectives, I have always maintained a strong connection with art, continuing to draw, paint, experiment, and develop personal creative projects alongside my professional commitments.
Today, my artistic practice combines traditional techniques with digital illustration, primarily using Procreate. I continue to explore different styles, subjects, and visual languages, working on a variety of artistic projects that reflect both my technical background and my evolving creative interests.
This portfolio brings together works from different stages of my artistic journey, from early pieces created during my student years to more recent illustrations and independent projects. Rather than representing a single style or period, it offers an overview of my artistic development, experimentation, and continuing relationship with visual expression.
For me, art has never been limited to a particular profession or medium. It remains a constant part of who I am: a way to observe, interpret, and communicate the world around me, and a creative practice that I intend to keep developing.
