Profile
Born and grown in Naples, Italy and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, I started my career as a Set Designer, working mainly for theatrical plays and movies. Fifteen years later I finally decided to fulfil my dream, to become an Illustrator. My experience and my passion for stories flowed into picture books, the first of which came out in 2005. In 2012 I decided to move to the UK to boost my career and take new inspiration. Currently, I live nearby London, working mostly with British, US and Italian Publishers. In 2020 I was Highly Commended at the World Illustration Award with my project “The Small People” and in 2021 I won the Purple Island Awards at Nami Concours. My work is a mixture of stubborn attachment to hand drawing, enthusiasm for digital art, passion for collage, obsession with historical and artistic research, and endless love for telling stories through images.
