T：How you started your illustration journey?

M：When I was a child I spent the majority of my time drawing. I loved watercolours and pencils and always dreamed about doing that my entire life. I remember painting on everything was feasible to do so like walls, tissues and even leaves and flowers. Growing up I made different choices for my career but in 2016 I decided to change my life and do what really makes me happy: create and draw a more colourful world. So I moved from Italy to London and started studying as designer.

T：Where did you get your inspiration from?

M：I’m largely influenced by my love for the nature. Trees, plants, flowers, mountains and oceans are elements you can find often in my illustrations. I literally adore taking photos of clouds, staring at the sky laying on the grass, looking from the base to the top of the biggest trees I can find on my path. I’ve always been fascinated by the shapes and colours that exist naturally in this world.

T：How did you develop your signature style and approach?

M：My approach has always been really spontaneous and natural. When I start drawing I never have a clear image in my mind of what I’ll create. I just love leaving the creativity working for me. I choose shapes and colours paying attention on what I feel in that exact moment. I think this is the reason why my signature style is made of a lot of abstract lines and very contrasting colours.
