'Still on the Yellow Brick Road'
Swords Road/Collins Ave (Outbound), Whitehall, Dublin 5

Dublin City Council
A black and white photo of Dublin everyday-life is mixed with coloured imaginary elements, evoking the movie "The Wizard of Oz". The artwork suggests that Dorothy is back at home and has lived a long life and now, at an old age, she still walks on her path, on the yellow brick road, in her red shiny shoes. Dorothy is on a lifelong quest and the future is still ahead. Hopes and dreams don't end at old ages.
I am a graphic designer based in Dublin. When I moved to Dublin from Italy I was a research scientist, but recently I embraced a new path pursuing my passion for art and design. In 2016 I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. My projects have received national and international awards (such as the 2016 IDI Graduate Award and ISTD Student brief 2016). I love interpreting and translating artistic concepts into graphic forms.
