Summary

I'm an Italian illustrator. After 8 years working in the fashion industry as a designer I decided to dedicate myself entirely to illustration, trying to grow up as an artist.
My personal works usually refer to fantasy realms and celtic/northern spirituality and mithology although the more in depht I go the more it's expanding towards many other countries with a special focus on animistic cultures, myths and legends.
My most recent work is "The Goddess Temple Oracle Cards" with the publisher Lo Scarabeo, as the illustration artist and co-author with Sarah Perini (who's also the author of the texts in the booklet).
I work for both private customers and publishing houses, and here are some of my other works:
I designed and illustrated the cover art, packaging and poster for the band Feronia.
I designed some cards for the game "warage"​ published by district games.
I published my first book "Awakenings & Revelations"​ lately published also in Italian by Anguana Edizioni.
Along with this experiences I had the opportunity to work on some projects such as a comic for A.C.A.T. Piemonte and Album covers for the Scottish band Stramash.
I'm actually featured in some art exibitions in Europe.
One thing you need to know about me: I like to be challenged also with "out of my comfort zone"​ commissions and I approach everything with a humble and strong approach and I love to learn new things and to get deeper in my skills.
