Anna Quaranta is an illustrator born and raised in northern Italy among fields and cities. Drawing has always been her strong point for communicating and translating the world, and she now uses watercolors and colored pencils to create color combinations and textures, finishing the work with Procreate. She studied traditional graphic art at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and attended the Mimaster editorial illustration master program. She's now represented by the Bright Agency around the world. For Anna, everything is potential inspiration. In fact, in her spare time she loves to get lost in her favorite forms of art: movies, music, and nature.
