About Me

I am a freelance Illustrator and Author. After graduating from the Fine Art Academy of Brera, Milan, I have specialized in historical artworks, alongside illustrations of Nature, Wildlife and Landscapes. Alps and mountains, lakes and forests, moors and animals, castles and ancient villages (the beloved Middle Ages, the accurate depiction of its authentic historical aspects and details, along with its myths and legends) are always an inspiration to me! All my artworks are created and painted by hand.
