Biography
I approached the artistic field from an early age, cultivating a passion for drawing and especially for comics, the main reason why I fell in love with the visual arts and for which as a child I had already decided which professional path I would like to take.
Over the years, adolescence and the years spent in the Print Art section at the “Bernardino di Betto” Art Institute in Perugia, I developed a love for graphic design and related software, starting to working first in Adobe Photoshop, then in the years following high school becoming an expert in the use of vector graphics software such as Adobe Illustrator, also taking an interest in the design of websites, all this without ever distracting attention from my first love, the drawing and illustration and taking my first steps as an illustrator as cover designer of musical records (which I still do).
During my career I worked mainly as a Graphic Designer, first in a comic book publishing house, then in 2013 as a Freelance Graphic / Illustrator, since 2019 I started my own studio: Atomo

Throughout my career I have always tried to evolve, both in style and techniques.
My first love were the superhero comics, and I have taken up a lot of the style, but over the years I have been able to adapt to new techniques, such as digital painting and the use of my skills as a graphic designer to adapt my drawings to vector graphics for flat design illustrations or detailed drawings with vector paths.
