welcome to my little corner of the internet
My name is Matilde Sannito
I am an illustrator based in Italy, and you can find me on social media as tilde_ish!
Let’s work together!
I am looking for collaborations on picture books, chapter books and non-fiction. I work in both traditional and digital media, but I am leaning more and more towards mixed media.
Background
I have a MA in Archeology, I have worked as a field archaeologist as well as a cultural educator for children, designing and leading educational activities. My background lead me to uncovering untold stories and now I love bringing them to the page with my illustrations.
I studied Digital Illustration at the International School of Comics of Padova and I have worked as a freelance illustrator on a variety of projects, including commercial illustrations and pedagogiical materials, and I am currently working on two picture books.
About my art
I work with both digital media and traditional techniques, such as watercolour and acrylic, and you’ll often find me at craft markets sharing my creations on prints, textiles, and even hand-painted products.
I love illustrating nature inspired settings and whimsical creatures, including fun details to further enrich the narrative. What’s a point of making art if you don’t have fun with it?
