My name is Claudia and I was born in 1982 in Rieti, a small Italian medieval town, under the Appennino range, enclosed by the nearer beautiful forests and by an evergreen landscape. Since I was a child my great passion for arts and drawing grew into me, starting by myself to express my own sensations on paper. I attended the Classics School in my town, being keen on to the ancient literatures, to Greek and Roman mythology, and in particular to the Italian art history, keeping on drawing always by my own. After the High School licence, I graduated in Architecture at the Roma TRE University. From october 2006, I've also started to attend the Scuola Internazionale di Comics in Rome, a professional school for illustrators.
I have been a self thaught person for twentyfour years of my whole life, and in my experience I've had a lot of references that inspired me. All those things are still following me and my experience as an illustrator.
Il mio nome è Claudia e nasco nel 1982 a Rieti, un piccolo borgo medioevale, ai piedi dell'Appennino Centrale, circondata dalle bellissime foreste dei luoghi circostanti e da un paesaggio sempreverde. Già fin dalla tenera età nasce la mia grande passione per l'arte ed il disegno, cominciando da sola a riportare le mie sensazioni sulla carta. Frequento il Liceo Classico della mia cittadina, appassionandomi così alle letterature antiche, alla mitologia greco-romana e celtica, e alla storia dell'arte italiana in particolare, continuando a disegnare ed esercitarmi sempre da sola. Presa la maturità classica, sono ora laureata alla facoltà di Architettura all'università di Roma TRE. Frequento inoltre dal mese di ottobre del 2006, il primo anno alla Scuola Internazionale di Comics a Roma, ad indirizzo "Illustrazione". Partendo sempre dal presupposto che sono stata autodidatta per ventiquattro anni della mia vita, nella mia esperienza ho avuto tanti modelli a cui mi sono spesso ispirata, sia nel campo dell'arte, che nella musica che nella letteratura, che nel cinema e che tuttora continuano ad ispirarmi e suggerirmi idee nella mia passione.
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone who wants to know me...

I hope you find some time for yourself sometimes :-) kiss of spades, Queen of a black heart

I adore you!!! Lots, and lots more of kisses for you, your Caro
