A Selected Showcase of My Most recent Works
Mind The Kraken
-Children's book-
Blending the mystery of a travelogue with the cunning observations of a naturalist's diary, this anthology reimagines the classic format of Middle Ages bestiaries in a series of short stories that vividly depict most peculiar creatures from all around the world and culture.
-
Some of the creatures from "Mind The Kraken" are featured at Belcastel Castle (France), in an exhibition inspired by Medieval bestiaries.
-
I am currently animating the curious creatures featured in the book for a series of short animations.
We even Trapped Water
-Short Animation Film-
Retracing the fragile beginning of our history, We Even Trapped Water confronts us with the consequences of our disconnect from nature. It invites us to step back and imagine a better future when the precious harmony with our planet is reforged anew.
The Book of Shadows: An Alchemist's Story
-Multimedia Project-
The Book of Shadows: An Alchemist's Story is a multimedia project that weaves together a graphic novel, a full-feature film, and a Tarot deck into a captivating narrative. The project offers an immersive storytelling experience by presenting the works of a mysterious Alchemist as a genuine archaeological discovery. It is an adventure in a land of dangers and mysteries, where alchemy, magic, and science intertwine in secret ciphers and cunning plots.
-
The Book of Shadows was published after a successful Kickstarter Campaign.
-
The Book of Shadows is a solo project: I worked alone from the concept to the illustrations, animations, and editing of the film.

Multimedia Illustrator & Animator,
Published Author
What I do
I have experience working with publishers in the UK, USA, and Italy on various projects, including illustrating:
Children's books
Books across different genres
Magazines
My experience extends to illustrating and/or authoring game designs, including:
Card games (Tarot, Oracle, etc.)
Board games
Beyond illustration, I've collaborated with international production companies on several theatre shows, primarily aimed at younger audiences. This work involved creating illustrations and animations displayed on stage, even including live animation using a technique I invented.
What I Am looking for
As an illustrator and animator,
I'm driven to push my illustration career to the next level, partnering with a forward-thinking agency that shares my vision and connects me with imagination-igniting projects.
I thrive on ambitious projects that break creative boundaries. My insatiable appetite for new challenges is evident in my exploration of theatre and cutting-edge technologies like Augmented Reality, which I used to animate card games and magazines.
As a multi-faceted author,
I've created numerous multimedia projects that have solidified my reputation and career. From games and books to multimedia exhibitions showcased at prestigious venues like the Venice Biennale, museums, and art galleries, I've made significant strides in the creative industry.
Partnering with the right agent would be an invaluable asset in promoting and developing my current projects, including books, games, and animation series.
