“I like to think of books as a magical portal into the imagination – I try to make books that encourage children to be curious so that they can build confidence in their own unique way of being in the world”.

“Everything has a narrative, from a collection of products to an illustration for a magazine. The message can be a subtle or one that is clear and direct…It’s fascinating to let the story unfold”.

“Patterns tell stories as well, to curate a collection is really about discovering the essence of what you want to express and finding the elements that express that vision”.

I strive to play and explore with my art as often as possible in order to learn something new everyday. Much of these experiments I post on Instagram. By doing this, I have seen my artwork grow in ways I would never have expected. I am grateful to have discovered the impact of this practice as well as a supportive platform to showcase how I see the world. If you’d like to see my work as it develops, I am on Instagram @carluccio7 (see below), I am also on Facebook as well.
