Chiara

Benedetti

I was born in 1991 in Modena, Italy where I started my studies in high school as graphic designer and when I was eighteen I studied 3D Graphic, Animation and Visual FX. When I was a child I used to draw in my little sketchbook or every paper I can find near me. During my studying years I participated in many workshops for animation and concept art and that’s helped me to find what I really love to do and in improving my skills. I’m the creator and illustrator of Woozy the Fearful Bear, a little series of two illustrated children’s books.

One of my favorite technique is mixing digital and traditional media like watercolor and painting in Photoshop. I love to give a traditional feel to my work. Light, color and story are the focus of my work, I put lot of attention on the feeling of the painting more than anything else. I work with clients such as Netflix, Disney TV and Gaumont.
