About
Eleonora Garofolo is a freelance illustrator active in the field since 2018. She creates covers for individuals and small publishers and since 2021 has also been active in the field of comics, working for independent authors.
Always passionate about drawing, she learned the techniques of comics and illustration at the Roman School (2018, RM).
Before embarking on a career as an illustrator, Eleonora first graduated from the State Institute of Art in Marino (2006, RM), Metal Art and Goldsmithing section, and then entered the ordinary courses of the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome (2013), acquiring various skills in the field of engraving and modeling, producing several commemorative medals for public and private entities.
She also does glass engraving work for well-known perfume brands.
She has worked with Edikit editore, Delos Digital, La Caravella editrice, Tora edizioni, Word Edizioni, and Cronaca di Topolinia.
She says of art, “The world of art, in all its forms, is something that has always made me feel alive. An ever-changing world, where the day after you create, draw, color, you are never the same as the day before.
Perhaps this is what continues to amaze and shape me: the fact that everyone can be what they want in front of a blank sheet of endless possibilities.
Art is a means of exploring one’s inner world and all that surrounds us, through which the soul of those who approach it is elevated and undergoes profound transformations.
Art is spiritual knowledge, passion, dedication, study, analysis and knowledge of techniques; it is crisis, chaos, pain and happiness at the same time, toil and constancy.”
