Biography

Hi! My name is Lio, I'm an Italy-based artist.

I have attended animation classes at Nemo Academy and a 3D Maya online course held by Rainbow Academy.

Right now, I'm doing a remote internship as a 2D character animator at Aniboxx. 

My experience until today has been mostly freelance, with a variety of roles: 2D character animation, illustration, game artist, and storyboard, now I would like to make a break in the industry, to keep following my passion.

My goal is to be able to tell a story about my gender transition, with all its achievements and struggles, and also to do what I love as a job: drawing and creating, both for me and others.

I'm really passionate about comics, games, TV series, music, plants and D&D (along with other RPG games I'm discovering lately).
