I'm extremely happy to share that my illustration "Yuyuan Garden" won the Shanghai In My Mind contest x IED alumni organized by Shanghai Let's Meet for the Milano design week 2026.

My illustration was exhibited as a print, bookmarks, and postcards alongside those of the finalists at the Spring Shanghai pop-up Kiosk designed by Edoardo Nieri in Largo Augusto, Milan.

I'm delighted and beyond honored that my romantic, spring-like version of this beautiful Chinese garden captured the attention of the jury, whom I thank again from the bottom of my heart!

I tried to capture the feeling of a fond beach memory with low contrast and desaturated colors, and then interpreted Toga and Uraraka as flowers. If you'd like to dive deeper onto the explanations, i've explored it further in my IG post.

Illustration I made based on the song "The Devil went down to Georgia": The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show" and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow, and then he pulled his bow across the strings and it made a evil hiss and then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.

Scarpilla - Piccuttini - Kebut These illustration were created for Nicole Pattaro's beautiful thesis project: she collected the terms spontaneously invented by children as they learn to speak and studied whether and how these silly words could stimulate adults' imaginations.

Cover page for the magazine "The Brescianer": "N 52 - Leggenda dorata In un prato verde, lontano dalle mura cittadine, riposa sereno un imponente bue d’oro prima di essere sepolto per sempre sotto una piazza del centro. Un omaggio all’origine dell’enigmatica insegna di via Trieste, che si narra alluda a una misteriosa statua di bue dorata nascosta sottoterra. Un’immagine che unisce realtà e fantasia, mito e natura, per dare forma a ciò che forse è stato..."

This is what the word illustration mean to me: a beautiful dance with a hint of magic, while being surrounded by all the characters I can bring to life with just a pencil.
