I am an Italian illustrator and concept artist, driven by great motivation and a passion for storytelling and worldbuilding.

Biography

I began my journey into the world of concept art and visual development in 2019, when I attended a course at the Nemo Academy in Florence. This experience introduced me to how a professional pipeline works and allowed me to cultivate skills in both 2D drawing and 3D modeling.

Subsequently, I had the opportunity to work as a background artist on an animated short film titled "Blue," which was produced by Nemo Academy itself, under the supervision of Sandro Cluezo and Tom Bancroft.

Upon completing my diploma in 2022, I embarked on a new adventure at the Mimaster in Milan, focusing on editorial illustration, which I successfully concluded in July 2023.

Presently, I am working as an illustrator on various editorial projects.

My goal is to narrate and breathe life into stories through my drawings. I aspire to continue growing and shaping myself both professionally and personally, and of course, artistically.
