Stela Xhani

I am a 24-year-old Master’s Degree candidate in Illustration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. I have been passionate about art since the age of four. My artistic journey includes a broad range of techniques, with a primary focus on digital illustration and 2D animation. I am currently focusing on improving my skills in comic book art, illustrated books, character design, storyboarding, environmental illustration, color scripting, concept art, and frame-by-frame animation. I have a big passion for books which inspire my illustrations and character designs. Additionally, my enthusiasm for fashion has led me to experiment with independent design projects, enriching my portfolio.

In my work, I love collaborating with teams and bringing ideas to life through playful, expressive visuals. I am always eager to learn, adapt, and explore new styles to push my creative boundaries.
