To illustrate this story by Laura Simeoni for the Italian children’s book publisher “Orecchio acerbo” was the 1st prize of the 1st International Illustration Competition Notte di fiaba.

The competition was held for one week combined with an eye-opening masterclass by Svjetlan Junakovic. Svjetlan showed me how one can create vast spaces in an image working with different scales and how images build themselves up from many painterly layers.
