Emanuela Mannello

Emanuela was born in 1986 in Rome, where she grew up, and now lives in Anguillara Sabazia, a small village on the shore of Lake Bracciano. She graduated from the "International School of Comics", where she studied artistic drawing, graphic design and illustration. She is grateful that her family has always supported her. In the years after her studies, she worked with a number of publishers and took part in various competitions. This year, the Sharjah Book Authority will exhibit her illustrations for "Beauty and the Beast". When she works on her illustrations, she lives in a magical world; music, Disney, the Victorian era and her favorite books are her inspiration! The method she usually uses in her work is digital art with Photoshop, and watercolor; she loves refining her drawings with details. In her free time, Emanuela reads books, watches films and TV series and spends time with her best friends... they are part of her family! She is a Harry Potter fan and adores the geek world! She loves colors, nature, animals and her adorable cat Romeo.
