Kora

I was born 30 years ago in a village in The Po Valley, and, before I could understand what I wanted to do with my life, I was sure I was going to be an electrician, a mechanic and a writer. Only after I was 20, during the Course of Fashion Design at the University, I understood what I really wanted to do in my life. In spite of using computer programs and a graphic tablet from with i never part, my approach to design remains old style: pencil, ruler and square!
I always try to look for geometric harmony in shapes and I try to don't forget that architectural constructions and the skeletal anatomy of plants and animals are always a wonderful source of inspiration!
I make illustrations, mostly decorative taking inspiration from Herbal, and from cyclic forms of mollusc and shellfish. My passion for typography makes me do ornaments using typefaces as graphic objects.
