hi, I'm Marta!

I’m Marta, an Italian illustrator and concept artist, currently based in Milan, Italy. I have a background as a marine biologist and have grown up as a self-taught artist. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's in marine sciences. I am currently working as a book illustrator specialized in book internal designs, influenced by everything folklore and fantasy. My art is mainly inspired by my love for nature, fantasy and sci-fi.

Besides drawing, I’m very passionate about scuba diving, biology and bunnies! When I’m not drawing for work, I go to the gym regularly, spend time with my family and my bunnies and read books.
