Giordano Poloni

I think my artworks, whatever they represent, look very neat, and the original palette colors make most of the visual impact. My subjects are very different but I think you can find a childish touch in each one of them; I love not to be so serious, even when I’m drawing disquieting subjects.

I usually made a sketch, with black outlines, using illustrator and then I start shaping and filling it directly with colors. I change my color palette many times before finding the final one. Once finished, I pass the illustration on Photoshop to make some color correction with curves and other effects.

Born in 1980 and a resident of Milan, Giordano earned a bachelor's degree in cinema in 2006. In the same year, he started working with Italian advertising production companies as editor, motion graphic designer and Smoke artist. In the same year, he started his career as an illustrator for clients such as The Guardian, Scientific American magazine, The New Scientist, Monocle, Wired UK, and Wired Italy. Inspired by his huge collection of comics, music videos, movies and photography books, and above all, color, he creates digital artworks highly reminiscent of his Italian heritage.
