ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
I got to illustrate an inspiring woman of Sicily for the book Le Siciliane. Funded by Centopassi Association of Torregrotta. In the illustration we see the incredible Eleonara Abbagnato (1978), a celebrated ballerina who is taking over the world, born on Sicily. I wanted the image to really depict the busy theatre filled with musicians and visitors, but still draw the attention to the ballet.
What materials and techniques did you use?:
Gouache, crayons, colored pencil, Photoshop.
How were your illustrations used: They were used to accompany a text about Eleonora Abbagnato and her life and career.
