Profile
Born and grown in Naples, Italy, 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 the picture books, the first of which came out in 2005. In 2012 I decided to move to another country to boost my career and take new inspirations. Currently, I live nearby London, working mostly with British, US and Italian Publishers. In 2020 I was Highly Commended in the World Illustration Award with my project “The Small People”. My work is a mixture of stubborn attachment to hand drawing, enthusiasm for digital art, passion for collage, obsession with historical and artistic research, endless love for telling stories through images.
