Stefano Martinuz

Born in Brescia in 1996, he is an illustrator. Cultivating a passion for art and drawing from an early age, he decided to attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, majoring in comics and illustration, graduating with honors. He won the "Rodragon" for emerging authors organized by Rovigo Comics in 2015 and won third place in the "Annual 2018 – Italian Illustration in Dublin" with the cover "Multiverse Ballad" in the student category. He currently collaborates with several publishing houses such as Erickson Edizioni, with whom he has edited and illustrated several projects, including the "L'ispettore Numeroni" series, Rizzoli Education, Pearson Italia, Sergio Bonelli Editore, and Alice Édition. He enjoys working as a concept artist and character designer for publishing projects, companies, and animation studios, allowing him to push beyond his comfort zone and explore new approaches that consistently enrich his artistic journey. He loves drawing fantastical creatures, funny little monsters, and raccoons. He never tires of them. Nature and the colors it encompasses are his main source of inspiration.
