The works arise from an artisanal and experimental process that makes each board unique. The surface is carefully prepared and embellished with natural papers and tactile insertions, creating an irregular, three-dimensional base that enriches the board’s texture. This surface is then worked in an uneven manner using mixed media, with water-soluble pastels playing a central role, producing layering, transparencies, and contrasts in dialogue with the underlying material. This series is made even more special by a particular technique developed by the artist: applying pastel shavings directly onto the board. These color fragments are integrated into the surface, creating reliefs, chromatic vibrations, and intense materiality that make each board unrepeatable. In this way, an balance between technical control and spontaneity is created, marking the artist’s transition from a consolidated digital practice to a more tactile, artisanal, and deeply material approach.

Giulia Piras begins her studies at the Faculty of Biological Sciences due to her interest in naturalist themes. However, she shifts course to the Academy of Fine Arts, where she could deepen and apply her passion for scientific illustration. She continues her studies specializing in Illustration at ISIA of Urbino. Today she lives in the Marche countryside, in Italy, surrounded by the Apennines, oak forests and blooming meadows. She collaborates with publishers, magazines, companies, and advertising agencies. She was selected for the Renner Prize for Contemporary Arts. In 2021 she won the competition “Digital Inclusion” organized by Posterheroes. In 2025 she was selected for the Annual of Image Authors and for the Bologna Children’s Book Award (BRAW) Amazing Bookshelf.
