GLORIA DI BELLA

I am an illustrator born in Messina in 1992. After graduating in Performing Arts and Multimedia Production, my passion for art led me to Turin in 2019 to deepen my study of digital illustration. In 2021, I embarked on a master's program in editorial illustration in Milan (Mimaster-OPPI), where I currently live and work. I collaborate with magazines, columns, and publishers from around the world, bringing stories and visions to life through my style.

My artistic exploration is a constantly evolving journey, fueled by the visual art that surrounds me: photography, cinema, children's drawings, and mosaics from ancient churches. Every visual encounter is a source of inspiration, driving me to seek new forms and meanings.

I do not consider myself an illustrator with a fixed and immutable style. My illustrations change along with me. Even when I work digitally, I always strive to maintain that imperfect and vibrant touch of freehand drawing. As Mattias Adolfsson once said, this way they feel more alive.

Now, I have decided to join this project that allows artists to explore new ways to connect with the audience. Through my art, I want to create t-shirts that are not just clothing items, but true wearable canvases capable of bringing art into everyday life in an innovative and personal way. I believe that wearing a piece of art is a way to carry a story, an emotion, an inner world with you.
