Gianluca Garofolo

Artist, illustrator. Born in 1968, he graduated in 1985 at the State Art School in Rome, and immediately afterwards he moved to Perugia, to take a degree course in veterinary medicine. After five years he returned to Rome: he preferred illustrating animals’ souls to curing their ailments. In 2000 he was selected for the ILLUSTRATORS EXHIBITION at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. He collaborates with various schools, holding visual perception, drawing and illustration workshops for children and teenagers. He works with various publishers around the world.
