Preferred Pronoun?
He/him
Why did you choose to enter this work?
This piece is one among many others that I'm proud of making. The output is a result of me trying to come out of my head and create a work of art that's actually worth what it deserves
What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
My style. I was skeptical about publishing my work on social media since they didn't make any visual meaning. But later I understood that it doesn't always need to. The artwork is purely experimental.
What excites you most about being shortlisted?
That my artwork can also get shortlisted among the submissions of such talented individuals around the world.
Where do you usually work?
I don't really have a work setup. I just work on my study table in the room with my sketchbook, pencil and a basic wacom table to digitise my work
How long did it take to complete your project?
4-5 days. I've blocked out the basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator very fast. It was the coloring and texture that took time.
What is your dream commission?
To be commissioned by a brand to have my illustrations printed on it or having my own product line with my illustrations on it.
What’s your favourite thing to draw?
Always straight lines, block shapes, symmetrical and closed composition. Small elemental objects are my favourite thing to draw. Because that's what gives the bigger objects their shape
What is your best tip for other illustrators?
If you like something, just do it
What are your plans for the future?
I'll be graduating before December 2023 from the communication design course of Politecnico di Milano, Italy. I intend to work as a freelance Illustrator/ graphic designer
