I was born in Turin, Italy, in 1984 and have been working as a professional illustrator, comic book artist, and colorist since 2010.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with international publishers and studios including Hachette Livre, Sigil Entertainment Group and Kymera Press, for which I created an issue of the Mary Shelley Presents series, recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Graphic Novel in 2020.
Since 2018, I have been collaborating with Arancia Studio as an illustrator and colorist, working for the French market with publishers such as Jungle, Dupuis, Les Humanoïdes Associés and Glénat. Among the titles I have worked on as a colorist for the US market are Red Sonja by Mirka Andolfo and Red Sitha, published by Dynamite Entertainment.
I also drew and colored the horror graphic novel The Book of Mark, written by Monte M. Moore and published by Maverick Arts.
In recent years, I have expanded my work into the field of tabletop role-playing games. For Edizioni Aristea, I created the illustrations for the role-playing game Consequences – Giorni d’Oggi and the maps for the MagiKal Crimes gamebook series. I also wrote and illustrated Il Varco, a module for the role-playing game Totem, published in the anthology Storie dal Buio by Officina Meningi.
Together with Matteo Poropat, I am co-founder of Two Mad Racoons, an independent label dedicated to creating original role-playing game modules, maps, illustrations, and supplementary content.
My work moves across comics, illustration, cartography, and role-playing games, with a particular passion for horror and fantasy imagery.
