Location: Italy

Of Austrian and dalmatian descent I was born in Venice on the 18th of April. I begun working as a professional illustrator and graphic designer. Then I switched to art direction and I pursued a career as creative director in major international advertising agencies between Milan and Rome. In 2014 I opened my first advertising shop based in Milan, and Padua. In 2019 I launched a new communication agency based in Venice: FONDAMENTA, serving local and national clients.
In 2013 I went back to illustration keeping it in parallel with my advertising and graphic design work.
During my career I won many prizes and recognitions either in the Advertising and Illustration fields.


Portfolio:

the written portraits

All portraits are drawn in coloured pastels. My particular and unique style is given also by the hand writing that complete the portraits with sensations, informations, life details of the people, more or less famous, that are portrayed.
