I am a comic artist, illustrator and graphic designer from Milan, Italy.
I love clean lines and clear detailing, and to mix and match my various expertises and passions in my work.
My strong points are inking and linearts, I do love neat and precise lines both in visual arts and in graphic design. Storytelling, being it implemented into a comic page, an illustration, or more metaphorically into the brand identity of a company in terms of graphic cohesion, a wise choice of colours and recurring symbols and patterns.
Last but not least, my academic formation in English and Russian Literature left me with a love for good research and quoting in designs, and a keen eye on consistency, coherence and correctness for all text formats.
Mothertongue italian, proficient in English, decent Russian and French.
And before you ask no, I'm not related to any politician in any way.

The bird is a grey petrel, I liked its italian and Latin name: "Procellaria", aka a bird who flies into storms. It sounded hopeful and strong.
