Alessandro Pautasso is a graphic designer and illustrator whose specialty lies in vector art and mixed media. He began drawing when he was just a child, under the guidance of his mother who is a painter. It was when Alessandro discovered an illustration book about the Beatles by Alan Aldridge that he realized that he wanted to become a designer/illustrator. Attracted by the visual arts, he started working in the field of commercial art and simultaneously focused on the so-called digital art.
