Biograffiti are bespoke illustrations drawn directly in ink, each containing a celebration of life curated by you. From the extraordinary to the everyday elements that make up each story, each Biograffiti creates apoetic and surrealworld shaped around you.
After studying literature at Uni in Turin and spending a few years working in sales in the IT sector in Glasgow, at the end of 2019, favoured by the events, I decided to become a full time illustrator and focus on an artistic project which had been in my mind for some time, looking for its final shape. Biograffiti, biographical drawings: a series of bespoke drawings based on someone’s life, completely personal and at the same time linked to all the other artworks by a few recurring elements.
Each Biograffiti requires lots of hours of work. When I receive your list, I start thinking how I can represent each element, choosing between the endless possibilities which every concept carries within; I research books and websites to learn how to draw things I never drew before - the Waldorf Astoria in New York, Live Aid, the Orient Express and so on.
