Gabriele was born and currently lives in Palermo where he graduated in Scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts, with a great passion for the world of puppets and puppetry. He then studied Image Graphics and Illustration at the ISIA in Urbino and now specializes in the field of visual arts for the publishing world. He loves to illustrate books and experiment with different techniques even if he prefers the traditional ones. He tries not to separate the sculptural arts from the graphic, pictorial or scenographic.
He also works in the field of traditional animation and his research is based on the communion of illustration with puppetry. He likes to work on subjects that have an educational and didactic purpose, deepening topics of realization philosophy and inner knowledge to learn how to express one’s talent.
