Hello, I'm Chiara Vestrucci, from the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. My art style is a delightful blend of cartoony whimsy with a touch of quirky charm. Striving to be both commercially appealing and artistically distinctive, I pour my creativity into every piece to create work that's not only fun but also uniquely recognizable. When I'm not sketching away, you can find me tending to my carnivorous plants, crafting terrariums, or exploring new art forms like pyrography. My love for bugs, reptiles and sea creatures, along with a passion for reading, D&D and video games, keeps my inspiration flowing.
I graduated from art high school and from Nemo Academy with a degree in animation (though I'm no more calling myself an animator), I've honed my skills in illustration and character design. My creative process varies depending on the project, from detailed character studies to diving straight into illustrations. Even when I'm not working I am constantly observing the world around me, from people of all ages and how they dress and behave to wildlife with it's endless colors and textures. This dedication to studying life's intricacies ensures that each piece I create is infused with vitality and relatability.
My artistic journey is inspired by a diverse range of influences, from Disney movies to anime, videogames and fantasy books. And of course by other artists, both old and new. Nature, with its boundless wonders, and visits to medieval villages and seaside retreats, enrich my soul and spark my imagination. Whether exploring the outdoors, attending festive village fairs, or simply basking in the company of loved ones, I find joy and inspiration in life's simple pleasures. And though I may not have pets, the occasional visit from a friendly cat or a chatty magpie never fails to bring a smile to my face.
