Some years ago I’ve discovered a great passion for classical literature and from there I’ve got the idea to represent what I was reading, focusing in particular on the characters and heroes that made me dream.
I often asked myself if all people create some inner images of what they are reading and, speaking with a few friends of mine, I’ve discovered that everyone has a different approach to reading. Some imagine sounds, some others imagine smells, others compose the soundtrack of the events in their mind:) I’m rather a slow reader and every phrase passes in front of my eyes with vivid and clear images. Well, probably it couldn’t be otherwise, it’s my job after all.
What I’m trying to do is to capture an instant of the life of those characters that stayed with me for days, weeks or months; grasping their essence, imagining their eyes, clothes and hair.

I aim to enhance and enrich the experience of well-being that one derives from reading a classic by incorporating the images that accompanied me during the process. Through interactive means such as coloring pages and embroidery patterns, I strive to achieve this goal. This creates a dialogue between myself as the designer and those who use my illustrations, resulting in a unique final product.
