About me

I’m Elia Bonetti, an artist and illustrator born in 1983 in Italy, where I currently live and work. After graduating from the Art School of Parma, I specialized at the International School of Comics in Florence, and today I teach at its Reggio Emilia branch, sharing my experience with aspiring illustrators. Since 2010, I’ve collaborated with major publishers such as Marvel, DC Comics, Bonelli, and others, working on international projects featuring iconic characters. Alongside my illustration work, I pursue continuous pictorial research—my painting remains rooted in figuration, though abstract elements often emerge strongly, driven by my passion for both conceptual and technical experimentation through mixed media.
