Gianluca Folì About

Photo by Paolo Belletti

Gianluca Folì is a elegant and brilliant italian illustrator.

His illustrations are graphic tours de force between chromatic and formal poems. In a surreal balance. Each subject, from adults culture to children’s books, benefits from his sophisticated artistry and empathy. From his studio between the Castelli Romani vineyards, he collaborates with different clients around the world.
