KAWAII ILLUSTRATOR PAOBI
Soft shapes, chubby characters, pastel places and tiny magical details - usually with a little Japan, nostalgia or cat energy hiding somewhere.
Some dreams wait patiently until you're ready to pick them up again.
MY ILLUSTRATION STORY
I studied illustration when I was younger, then life took me somewhere else. After almost twenty years away, I started drawing again - and discovered that the visual world I loved was still there, only more personal now.
Since 2024 I've been studying at the Scuola Internazionale di Comics in Milan, rebuilding my practice and creating a portfolio rooted in autobiography, travel memories and the things that have always made me happy.

Every piece here is original artwork. No generated substitutes, no invented portfolio - just places, creatures and objects I genuinely drew.
MORE PASTEL THINGS
New illustrations, sketches and tiny works in progress live on Instagram.
INSIDE MY CREATIVE UNIVERSE
