Corrado is a craftsman in the noble sense of the word.
A tireless worker, he loves to create with his hands and, since his birth, has expressed an interest in "do-it-yourself" and a great taste for detail.
Shy and sensitive, Corrado has made artistic expression his favourite field. An ardent romantic, he is fascinated by nature and the people surrounding him.
He experiments with various graphic techniques and tests his talents with different tools, from the traditional paintbrush to digital works. At ease with spontaneous drawing or detailed illustration, his work surprises through the accuracy of the subject and the enhancement of the atmosphere of the moment.
Corrado is particularly touched by female beauty. He devotes thousands of hours of work to this subject and has produced several book projects of sketches taken "on the spot". He also loves cities and when the weather is good, he chooses a street corner, away from the tourist routes, to draw. Other passions of his are Tango and fly fishing.
As meticulous graphic designer and illustrator, Corrado started his professional career right after his studies with regular collaborations. He moved to Milan in 1991 and worked with major Italian and foreign publishing houses and communication agencies.
He designed and produced hundreds of images for his clients, which were used for book covers, layouts and storyboards, advertising posters and cultural events.
Since 1998 he lives and works in Paris, where he runs drawing and painting workshops and develops personal projects.
