Emanuela Mannello

Emanuela was born in 1986 in Rome, where she grew up, and now lives in Anguillara Sabazia, a small village on the coast 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 following her studies, she worked with a number of publishers and entered various competitions. This year, the Sharjah Book Authority will exhibit its illustrations of “Beauty and the Beast”. When she works on her illustrations, she lives in a magical world; music, Disney, the Victorian era and his favorite books are his inspiration! The usual method she uses in her work is digital art with photoshop and watercolor; she likes to refine her drawings with details. In her free time, Emanuela reads books, watches movies and TV series, and spends time with her best friends...they're part of her family! She is a Harry Potter fan and loves the world of geeks! She really loves colors, nature, animals and her adorable cat Romeo.
