Elefanti in Fuga is a young adults book inspired by The Carnival of Animals show that Paola Mastrocola, a famous writer, and I realised for The Regio Theatre in Turin. Due to the success of the show, the publisher Voglino Editrice asked us to adapt our work in this new format.

​

Working on the book was an inspiring process, I had to rethink the original illustrations, made for being animated and projected as scenery, in order to accommodate the new format and interact with the text in an intelligent way. I took my chance to explore some ideas and create the book I always wanted to. I love illustrated children books!

Illustration technique: a mixture of pencil, inks and watercolour on paper as well as digital painting.
