illustrator, painter. I was born on February the 9th 1966. I obtained an Ilustrator's Diploma at the European Institute of Design in 1991. I also paint. As an illustrator I am interested in visual communication, something rather different from what I aim for as a painter, free and even ?without use', one might say, except that what interests me most about illustration is definitely the relationship between writing and image. I work and live in Rome.
