"Sono fatto così" and "Brillantina" for charities in Italy
I made these picture books "Sono Fatto Così" and "Brillantina" with Marta Benoffi in 2015 - 2016, and they're finally released in Italy!
The book sales will be donated to two Italian charities; Fondazione Theodora Onlus and U.G.I Onlus.
The charity champaign ends on 24th June. The books will be sold in selected book shopd after the champaign.
"Sono fatto così" (Just the way I am) is a sweet tale about
a young tree who has a different trait to the others; it floats!
We are all different and it doesn't matter how others look at us - the story shows the freedom to be yourself.
"Brillantina" is an empowering story of a dim, metropolitan lamp who wants to shine.
It tells the story of serene self-affirmation - we have our own light within us, and it's up to us to make it shine.
The worlds of Marta's stories are charming and uplifting. I truly enjoyed working on the pictures and I think it makes you smile too :)
Hardcover, 20 x 20 cm, 30 pages full colour. All original images drawn with ink. More info below (in Italian);

Series of illustrations for Four Season Magazine.
The image I painted, together with my thoughts, was published for the opinion page “Reinterpretation: The art of taking the familiar and making it new”;
"Colours allow me to interpret my surroundings in a physical and emotional way. Each hue triggers memories: people, smells, tastes, sounds. With each memory, I am reminded of how I felt in that moment. But how I see colour is sometimes changed by my experiences. The way I see green changed completely when I visited Mexico City, from smooth, calm, peaceful to vibrant, lively, energetic. I thought with surprise, I won’t be seeing the colour green in the same way ever again. It was an unexpected, luxurious gift."
