My journey into the world of digital drawing began with the use of a graphic tablet on Photoshop and later evolved with the iPad and Procreate. My passion for drawing turned into a professional opportunity, leading me to collaborate on the illustration of two books and the creation of a series of watercolor-style prints.
Travels and Colors:
An Artistic Exploration
This series of illustrations represents a creative exploration of a watercolor-inspired style, featuring buildings and landscapes captured during some of my travels. Each piece was digitally crafted using Procreate on the iPad, blending the soft, fluid aesthetic of traditional watercolor with the capabilities of digital tools. The project stems from a desire to convey the unique emotions and atmospheres of the places I visited, aiming to capture the beauty and essence of each landscape through art. The result is a collection of works that combines technique and artistic sensitivity in a modern and versatile format.
Treasure time:
strengthen the bond
For Treasure Time, I created a series of illustrations for a family card game. The goal of the project is to encourage communication and educational bonding between parents and children through creative activities to be enjoyed together. The colorful and engaging illustrations support the different stages of the game, making the experience more intuitive and accessible even for the youngest players.
Il nostro amico Ro-bit
Illustrations for a Children's Story
For a children’s book publication, I created a series of illustrations for the entire book, addressing social and environmental themes through a visually engaging and age-appropriate approach. I worked on bringing to life a main character that reflected the values and message of the story, while also designing immersive settings that aligned with the narrative envisioned by the author.
The illustrations were entirely crafted digitally using a graphic tablet and Photoshop, leveraging the tool’s capabilities to meticulously refine every detail, from the color palette to the stylistic elements. The goal was to amplify the story’s message through visuals that were both evocative and captivating, capable of conveying emotions and important values to young readers.

Illustration for a Poetry Book
Collaboration with a publishing house to create illustrations for a poetry book aimed at a young audience. The entire project was developed using Procreate, with careful attention given to maintaining visual harmony with the layout and accommodating the spaces designated for text. This ensured a balanced integration between words and images.
The illustrations were designed to enhance the poetic message, transforming the emotions and concepts conveyed by the verses into visual representations that capture readers’ attention and stimulate their imagination. The book’s cover was crafted as an extension of its content, reflecting the style, colors, and themes of the volume. The color palette was chosen to be both cohesive and vibrant, creating an engaging visual appeal while staying true to the poetic tone of the work.
This project merges the communicative power of imagery with the emotional depth of words, showcasing how illustration can be a fundamental tool to convey emotional messages and make the reading experience even more immersive.
