Drawing since i remember it. I could mention several memories, almost vague images in the head, that testify how the drawing has always been present. I remember family evenings while i was drawing the TV heroes on the sofa or once at elementary school while i was drawing some firefighters inspired by an illustration from a book and so on …
The years pass and the passion grows … and my self-taught method starts to give me some professional satisfactions.
The first collaborations arrive, also as a graphic designer, a profession for which i obtained the certification in 2005.
In the mid-2000s i also started a collaboration with a magazine, initially as a cover artist and illustrator, and later also as an editorial and advertising graphic designer.
After some experiences in independent comics, in 2010 i started my studies at the SRF Scuola Romana dei Fumetti, one of the most important italian forges of illustrators and cartoonists. In 2013, in the same academy, i graduated in “Drawing and technique of comics”, in 2014 in “Nude and illustration” and in 2015 the specialization in “American comics”.
In the meantime, i haven’t stopped. Since 2009, i’m the official illustrator of one of the major institutional magazines in Italy, and at the same time I work as a illustrator, cover and visual artist for several publications and books.
