About

I’m Irene Sarà, a cartoonist and illustrator who recently completed my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, where I majored in Comics Languages. In my visual work, I often focus on social and political themes, with a particular emphasis on gender.\n\nI explore how hatred toward women and toward diversity can transform into narratives, turning our imagination into fairy tales or legends. My research experiments with graphic design techniques to find the best fit for the topic, and my work resonates across novels, comics, film, TV series, songs, and more.
