Hi, I’m Simona
My work is all about vibrant colours. Rooted in the sunny hues of my hometown in Southern Italy,
I want to bring those vibes into everyone’s life.
My signature style seamlessly blends mixed media textures with digital techniques, creating a vibe that’s modern yet oh-so-nostalgic.
My greater mission is to highlight the brighter side of life and embrace small moments, turning emotions into images, and making a difference.
When I’m not drawing, you can find me in the heart of London, daydreaming to jazz vibes at local venues, capturing live music in my sketchbook, or having a swing dance.
