I am a graphic artist, illustrator, and author based in Berlin and Rome. My work uses visual narratives to explore complex issues and make them accessible.
I create comics and graphic novels on socio-political, historical and cultural themes, often in collaboration with institutions, e.g. on racist violence, post-migration identities or collective memory.
My personal practice is daydream-oriented and includes fictions and experimental formats such as book-objects, interactive artifacts, and cartographies.
I also take on selected editorial, book, and web illustration commissions. My actual illustration portfolio can be downloaded here.
Having grown up in multilingual contexts, I work comfortably across French, German, English, Italian, and Spanish.
