valentina di miceli

I'm a journalist and art critic. In my training between Accademy of beauty arts and University (history of arts) , I always keep together the pratical and material side of arts (understood as a creative act) and the theoretical side.
When I became mother, I feel the need to feed the magical fantasy of my daughters with illustrated books (I built in the years a good knoledge of childhood literature) and with a special way to tell stories. I built a little theater (looking at the sicilian tradition of "Teatro dei Pupi") and I starded to tell stories (for my daughters and all the children we knew), with the purpose of get out of the books the characters and magically bring them to life!!! Now I want to improve my drawings, I need to built a personal style, that allows me to turn my stories into books. I hope to succeed with your help :)
