A course by Sara Paglia
Sara Paglia is an illustrator who lives and works in Rome. Her love for drawing as a child eventually led her to major in illustration at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome.
After several years of working as a graphic designer in communication agencies, in 2018 she decided to pursue her true passion and devote herself full-time to illustration. Thanks to the reach of social media, she began to earn recognition for her art, as well as commissioned projects, which allowed her to open her own studio where she currently works and displays her illustrations.
Throughout her career, she has collaborated with the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine and Fabbri Editori, and one of her illustrations was selected by Taschen for the 2019 volume of The Illustrator, which compiles the best 100 illustrators from around the world for that year.
