About Me
I was born in Milan, Italy in 1988. I studied set design at Accademia of Brera in Milan and illustration at Ars in Fabula’s master of illustration for publishing in Macerata, Italy. I work as a freelance illustrator and artist. With my art, I like to create a surrealist version of everyday subjects, by mixing them with natural elements such as different animal species, plants and flowers, as well as dream creatures. I am interested in the hidden side of things; I often look for the original meaning of words (etymology), which leads to different interpretations and therefore portrayals of such words. Feel free to contact me with any question.
