Biografia
I was born in Ragusa on 7th June 1987.
Always in love with drawing and illustration, I graduated in Graphic Design at Academy of fine Arts in Catania in 2010. I've been attending advanced masterclass about traditional and digital illustration in Florence and Sarmede (TV), since 2011 till now. I love holding workshops for children at bookshops in Modica and streaming masterclass in English language to Russia (since July 2020), too. I create illustrations for agencies and privates. I took part of painting exhibitions in Florence, Sarmede, Genova, Ortigia, Ragusa.
I love making illustrations through traditional ways, expecially watercolors, acrylics and dry point. I imagine every drawing and line like a kind of mosaic, in which every piece, created by brushstrokes, is embracing the composition and echoes figures of animals (or landscape) and people linked, in order to symbolize Soul and to convey emotions.
When I'm painting, I always listen to Music, cause it allows me to put colors on canvas or paper, like a ritual.
Dance is a fil rouge of every illustration 'cause I have been practicing that since I was a child, and it has grown up with me, so it is deeply connected to soul: I'd like to let paintings dance through signs.
Seaside is an element I cannot avoid, too, 'cause I love blue color and Sea reminds me tenderness and deep roots.
I like to discover new techniques, more and more, sketching and searching for inspiration every day.
