Irene Magi

Irene is a Tuscan illustrator who loves nature, animals and the small things in life as seen in her hometown. Inspired by artists like Tomm Moore, she now illustrates children's books, collaborating with major Italian publishers like Gribaudo Editore, Sanoma etc.

Simple but also rich, Irene enjoys experimenting with different styles from traditional to realistic for adventures, animals, education and more. She focuses on composition, where she aims to maintain a unique balance between text and illustrations.

Irene feels strongly for climate change, diversity and inclusivity of all people and would love to work on a project to showcase these values. Beyond these core values, she'd like to also work on classic fairy tales.

She participated in Livio Sossi Prize and her storyboard was featured at Lucca Comics and Games. She also won third place in NASA's 'Moon to Mars' architecture art challenge in 2024.
