Hello, I am Martina Peluso, originally from Naples, Italy, but now proudly residing in Edinburgh, UK. My artistic journey began with acrylic and pencil, crafting vibrant layers of colors and intricate patterns. Over time, I seamlessly transitioned into digital art, maintaining the same expressive style. With a keen eye for detail, I excel in capturing the essence of diverse cultures, celebrating their unique traits. An avid traveler and nature enthusiast, I draw inspiration from my experiences, infusing my art with a rich tapestry of influences.

My creative accolades include a Silver medal for Children’s Picture books and recognition at the International Latino Book Festival. I have showcased my work in prestigious venues across Italy, the UK, and Spain, with a special exhibition at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. Embracing collaborations with clients who appreciate dreamlike aesthetics, I meticulously bring characters and settings to life, ensuring every project is a true reflection of the client's vision. Known for my punctuality and receptiveness to feedback, I immerse myself in thorough research to authentically depict cultural nuances in my illustrations.

Growing up surrounded by art and literature, I found solace and inspiration in books like "Alice in Wonderland" and Roald Dahl's works. My family's artistic background nurtured my passion for creativity, instilling a love for the whimsical and fantastical in my art. Drawing inspiration from everyday moments and the beauty of nature, I find solace in theatrical performances, art exhibitions, and tranquil walks in the woods. As a devoted mother to my five-year-old son, Yuri, I strive to embody gentleness and dedication in both my personal and professional pursuits, always aiming to share joy and wonder through my art.
