Monterosso al Mare

This personal illustration comes from a quiet inner desire to pause, sit by the seashore, and lose myself in a book while the world around me keeps running and rushing.

It all started during a casual walk when I made a quick rough sketch in my sketchbook. Over time, that initial concept evolved into a fully realized illustration.

I brought the artwork to completion using a mixed-media approach: starting with expressive ink work on traditional paper to build raw texture and linework, and finishing the piece digitally.
