A course by Thomas Cian
Thomas Cian is an illustrator who was born into a creative environment: his father was an architect and his mother an artist. As a child, he was always drawing, which prompted his decision to attend an arts’ lyceum and then study at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating, he began publishing his work online, which was well-received on websites like This Is Colossal and Juxtapoz, earning him recognition for his talent.
His success grew exponentially as he received more and more work, eventually collaborating with major brands like Nike, Disney, ProPublica, and Moto Guzzi. He currently teaches illustration, runs workshops, and has displayed his work in collective exhibitions around Italy as well as abroad.
