A course by Carlo Stanga
Italian artist Carlo Stanga’s illustration career combines his three passions: architecture, illustration, and travels. After studying Architecture in the Politecnico di Milano, he furthered his studies in Art and Design, which led him to work with major Italian magazines and newspapers, as well as international clients in Europe and the U.S.
After several years working in Architecture and Illustration separately, Carlo merged his two professions and became a leading expert in Architectural Illustration. He recently published a series of books with Moleskine, telling the illustrated story of 3 major cities: I am New York, I am Milan, and I am London, where he takes the reader on an immersive journey through each city, with illustrations of architecture, anecdotes, and the character that defines each city.
In 2019, he was a runner-up in the Creative Quarterly 55 for his illustration work in the book I am New York, and obtained the American Illustration Award 38. He holds a large number of awards for his work and has held personal exhibitions in New York and Milan. His long list of clients includes Trussardi, Moleskine, Lufthansa, Nestlé, Missoni, and more.
