L’ETÀ DELL’ADOLESCENZA
THE AGE OF ADOLESCENCE
During adolescence everything changes and shakes. It’s a continuous reversal of emotions that sends you into a tailspin. Growing up is this, turning the world upside down almost as a game, looking for the impossible.
This illustration has been selected in the 2022 edition of Tapirulan Illustration Contest, Italy. It was also chosen for the American Illustration 42 online archive

IN TRIESTE
Series of illustrations describing moments of daily life in Trieste and published by In Trieste Magazine. The original series was made during the days of the pandemic and people were almost always wearing masks.
In 2023 I decided to create a second version of some scenes by simply removing the masks, to show how the everyday life of certain moments has remained unchanged over time.
The first version of The World of Books was selected for the American Illustration 40th Annual Award Book.

CONNECTIONS
War is also the result of strong connections between opposing forces. Such connections create a terrible succession of events. Economic interests often escape idealistic proclamations and actually contribute to fueling conflicts.
