Hi! I'm Elena Lazzaro, a passionate concept artist and illustrator from Padua. Since childhood, I've loved comics and drawing, and I pursued my passion through formal education and hands-on experience. After studying Engraving and Graphic Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, I deepened my interest in fantasy worlds and digital art through role-playing games and other creative avenues. I recently completed my Bachelor's in Concept Art and Digital Illustration for Videogames at the International School of Comics in Padua. Along the way, I've worked on private commissions and managed e-commerce and social media for a sports company. I'm always excited to bring creative ideas to life and work collaboratively to meet deadlines with a self-critical and independent approach.
