Hi, I’m Gaia D'Alconzo, an Italian illustrator based in Padova. I specialize in book illustration and editorial art, blending traditional drawing with digital techniques to tell engaging stories. I enjoy collaborating with authors and publishers to develop characters and scenes that support the text and spark imagination. My training includes courses at the Stěpán Zavřel International School of Illustration, and I’ve gained experience as an art teacher, bookshop assistant, and museum-exhibition coordinator, all of which inform my storytelling with research and a love of visuals.
