HELLO!
My name is Claudia, or Atomica.
I'm a freelance illustrator and cartoonist based in Italy.
I graduated in production design at Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia.
In 2009 I employed as stop-motion animator and production designer at Studio Yusaki in Milan and started working as freelance illustrator too.
I mainly work on middle grade/young adult books and comics for Italian, French and English publishers.
I illustrated the book series Nazar Malik (Il Castoro) by Olivia Corio, translated in five languages, and the graphic novel Clara e le Ombre by Andrea Fontana, which won the Prix Des Lecteurs Du Var in France and the Living Book Award in Catalonia.
I've always written my own stories and recently started my journey as an author. My first project for adults is Atomi, a self-produced webcomic, which in February 2025 will become a graphic novel published by Bao Publishing.
I'm represented in UK and USA by NB Illustration Agency.
