How about a brief introduction?
6 years ago I came to Milan with the idea to become a phisician…luckely I failed the test!
from that moment my interest for illustration grew day by day and now I have troubles to figure myself in character different from an illustrator.
Who/What inspires you?
I find inspiration in many things, in works of many illustrators. I love, such as Lorenzo Mattotti, Ericailcane, Blexbolex, Beatrice Alemagna…
I like swedish graphic and viennese secessionism too.
Some of my friends and some young illustrators I knew through internet have also an important role in my professional development
What message would you like to send out about your work?
My message is always connected to the illustration theme. If someone orders me some illustrations, they must communicate at the best what they represent, a product or a tale; other works arrive from myself, personal researches or ideas that become real
Usually what I try to do at best is to create armonic illustrations, paying attention to composition and to the importance of colour
What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
This is a good moment, I’m working to my first children’s book and I’m leaving to New York where I will live for two months!
Share a secret with us!
two teaspoons of coffee powder inside “tiramisù” cream…much better!
