I was born in Brescia, Italy, in 1978, but now I live in the center of Italy.
I started drawing when I was a child, continually looking for ideas that would increase my imagination. After graduation at the Art School, I started working as Graphic Designer in several fields, such as Toys, Apparel, Communication…
Nevertheless the illustration has always been my dream in a drawer, that’s why one day I decided to apply completely myself to this art as a freelance.
My illustrations belong to conceptual or surrealist art and my style is mainly minimal and narrative. I use chromatic contrasts and rarefied atmospheres to compose oneiric scenes. I always try to give a positive, playful vision.
I prefer working with companies that pay attention to social, environmental themes. For example I wouldn’t work for brands that make experimentation on animals. Indeed, I’m an animal rights activist and vegetarian, and consider my four cats as my family.
In my spare time I love reading books, traveling, riding my old motorcycle and go swimming – themes that often inspire me for my illustrations.
