About
I'm an independent artist based in Italy.
I gaduated in Printmaking in 2017 and I took a diploma in Digital Art in 2019. Since 2024 I'm a member of the Cartoonist United.
I draw comics, illustrations and concept art. My artworks feature characters from my personal projects, but I also love drawing fan-arts and I occasionally treat myself making fan-comics and fanzines.
I write adult stories with horror, sci-fi, action and erotica inspirations, without sparing a biting irony.
Since 2023 I'm working on my own action/sci-fi webcomic series named MaNa. You can read it for free on this website (available in English and in Italian), on Tapas (English only) and on ComicFury (in English and in Italian). MaNa is published in early access only on Patreon.
