Giulia Pintus

Giulia Pintus studied art at the Liceo Artistico in Piacenza, but fell in love with illustration at the International School of Comics in Reggio Emilia. She lives in Piacenza, a small town near Milan, Italy. In 2015 she opened a small illustration workshop, where she still works today.

Giulia's love of creating characters is what drew her to children's book illustration. She has a lot of fun doing her work. She mainly draws digitally, but she also loves oil painting or just a good pencil on paper.

Giulia is fascinated by the flaws, the imperfections, of natural things, such as the body or human psychology. She pays a lot of attention to these details when she is drawing a character; she believes that the imperfections make a character more alive.

When she is not drawing she can probably be found there in the park, writing poetry poems or in a thrift store, looking for little wonders.
