Hi there! I’m an Italian illustrator, author, and designer based in Brussels. My work includes branding, advertising, murals, and publishing. I create poetic and surreal worlds with a simple graphic style, always infused with a pinch of humor and irony. I explores themes of identity, diversity, and empathy. I develop my artistic research through painting, focusing on the human figure, its body, and its expressiveness.
