A course by Cinzia Zenocchini
Graduated in communication design, she began working as a graphic designer and then devoted herself fully to illustration, which has fascinated her since she was a child.
The aesthetic component is very important in Cinzia's work, as she constantly strives to achieve a visually satisfying and balanced result. However, she is not limited to visual beauty alone but uses her art as a means of communication and personal expression.
Cinzia loves fixing the memories and places that have struck her on paper, trying to represent the elements of the landscape in a personal and intimate way. She also tries to include in her works the sensations and emotions she feels when she observes the places and objects that surround her, thus creating an illustration that goes beyond the simple description of the space.
