Gianassi

I was born in a small town near Florence (Italy). Drawing and painting have always been my huge passions. Since I was a child, I used to draw everything I saw or imagined: fantastic worlds, landscapes, people and cats! After graduating in Costume and Scenic Design at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (2007), and after working 3 years like a fashion designer, I decided to return to pursue my passion, illustration, enrolling at Nemo Academy of Florence. In 2013 I graduated with Talent reward and I started working as freelance illustrator and concept artist for international publishing houses and studios from all over the world. Disney, Usborne, Passion Picture, Flying Bark Productions, Sourchebooks, Penguin Random House, Scholastic Inc, Cottage Door Press, Neko Productions and Hachette Group are some of the publishing Houses and Studios I have worked for. I’m currently working as senior concept artist for 3D Feature film for Lightbox Animation Studios in Madrid.
