Giulia Nerina Fontana
Comics designer and illustrator
I was born in 1992, in the south of Switzerland. Ever since I can remember, drawing has always been my hobby. As a child, I spent entire days with paper and pencil, drawing continuously and making drawing my greatest ally. After finishing compulsory school, I decided to enroll in the art high school in my hometown, determined to pursue the path of an artist. I graduated in Painting and Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts of Como (IT), and then continued my studies in England, obtaining a degree in Illustration and Book Art from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. I started working as a freelance artist during my early academic years, creating portraits, logos, and humorous cartoons, and giving private drawing lessons. Since October 2018, I have officially been teaching at Dadix Art Factory, where I give lessons on comic book techniques. My artistic production has been strongly influenced by a trip to Japan, which brought me closer to the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun as well as to the technique of manga comics, of which I am an avid reader. I am fascinated by hyperrealism and the precise presence of details, elements that often characterize my drawings. I am always ready to learn something new that allows me to grow artistically and improve my technique! If you need an illustrator to create a project for you, have any questions about the courses, or simply need some information about the profession of an illustrator, do not hesitate to write to me!
