Lucia Carriero

About me:

A chair and a shaky stack of books & mangas: her world.
She's lazy, moody and silent. Icoherent and melancholic, with passiveness tendencies.
A laptop, a camera and lots of pencils: her friends.
She loves dreaming and pretending that her dreams are what really matters. But she thinks too much and doesn't like it a bit.
.Heart Obsessed.


I like to think that my drawings are made in this way. A bit of sudden inspiration, a lot of passion, lots of blank pages, some hearts, a pencil and a cute puppet. I'm behind them, but in reality my drawings are self-made. I'm aware of them only at work finished..




I'm Lucia and I'm Italian, but I'm studying English and French at university; even if I would like to learn Japanese one of these days.

I love reading ( books, mangas, fanfictions ) and drawing. Sometimes I try to take photos too, even if I've sort of dropped photographing for drawing!

I started drawing by chance, kept going on for fun and now it's a way to express my emotions with the help of some well-thought words.
I'm almost 21 but I've started drawing only two years ago. I've always been fascinated by both digital and traditional art, collecting pictures and finding new artists around the world to admire. Lack of self-assurance prevented me from studying art seriously, until the day I decided to let free my chaotic emotions in a mix of words and images.
My work is nothing too complicated or extravagant, it's simply a part of me, the one I'm able to express only through dreams. I work essentially with pencils and paper, and then I create a digital background with brushes and textures. I must say inspiration it's my great companion: it take me suddenly - in my mind a sudden image take form out of thin air and I have to sketch or take notes, then working properly on the general idea. The words arrive secondly, sometimes influenced by books, songs and films.

I'm thinking to experiment too a bit and obviously I would like to improve day after day. A dream of mine is to write and illustrate a book someday, maybe sell some pic in the process. In short, I'm a dreamer that wants to take her dreams in the real word.




* His name is Num.
He's a little and fluffy plushie guy, alone in the world, with too many dreams and a very big heart. But his greatest dream is to find someone, to know love.
He isn't scared easily, due to a bit of too much naivety. Although his worst fear is to remain alone, to be hurt again and again. Also, he's ruled by emotions and befriends every kind of creature, from mushrooms, to pigs, to carnivorous plants.






. Where to find Nonnetta:





I've been practising digital photography for some years now. I have never studied professionally, I'm self-taught and I've only attended a course about basic photography.
Recently I've bought a Polaroid and a Canon AE-1 Program with whom I plan to work in the near future.
