edit data

I'm born in Busto Arsizio (Italy), on March 15th, 1976.
Now I live in Zürich, Switzerland.
I attended the Artistic lyceum and I had my certificate in the school year 1993/94, then I attended an illustration school in Milan (Arte e Messaggio Institute).
I started to work for some little publishers and for advertising as freelance illustrator, and I partecipated to many International Competitions (always in the field of illustrations for children). Sometimes my artworks were selected for the final exhibitions. In these year I had my first contact with the agency that works as intermediary between me and the publishers (Milan Illustrations Agency) for which I am still working now, for the children's books.
Meanwhile I frequented a multimedia-visua I'm born in Busto Arsizio (Italy), on March 15th, 1976.

Sometimes my artworks were selected for the final exhibitions. In these year I had my first contact with the agency that works as intermediary between me and the publishers (Milan Illustrations Agency) for which I am still working now, for the children's books.
Meanwhile I frequented a multimedia-visual communication course and after that, I started working in a graphic-studio in Milan (Playstos). I worked there for about six years, between March 2000 and December 2006, where I mainly made texture for 3D models.
In the last period in the studio I had my first real work for a children's book (Harcourt Education) and after this I had some other works to do for the agency, so I took the decision to leave the studio to start working by myself, for publishers and to sell directly my paintings and drawings.
I rented a little space in Busto Arsizio where "ILLUSIMI" was born. This was my little place where I worked and sold my paintings, and where people came to meet me and see my works, and sometimes to ask for something special for them like a tailor-made painting.
I drawn some children's books for english publishers like Evans Brothers, Ladybird and Usborne; and also one title for Giunti in Italy. I have a collaboration, from several years, with LAV (an animal rights' association) for their childrens magazine "Piccole Impronte".
About the paintings, I started to work with some galleries and shops in Italy, some of these have been just short relationships, but with two of these I still have a very good collaborations.
They are Milonga in Milano and Arcanami in Pistoia (Toscana) that expose and sell my paintings and drawings.
Now I live in Zürich. I'm still working for children's books and I hope to open soon my new Atelier here! (I'm still looking for a space, for the moment). Here I have a collaboration with a little Gallery and studio in Baden and with Artecorum Gallery in Zürich Old Town. I started also a very nice relationship with petiteposte, some of my artworks were turned in postcards for sale in their website, and we just did also a special edition of themes sold as original handmade postcards.
I take care of my website and also of my blog, where I often add the last artworks at which I'm
working ...just fresh things from my working table.
I like walking in the wood and in the mountains, reading, listening music and also the chirp of birds, my two cats, playing badminton and, of course, drawing!
