The works originate from a handcrafted and experimental process that makes each panel unique. The surface is carefully prepared and enriched with selected natural papers and material insertions, creating an irregular, three-dimensional base rich in texture that enhances the panel’s structure. Subsequently, this surface is worked in an uneven manner using mixed media, in which water-soluble pastels play a central role, creating layering, transparencies, and contrasts in dialogue with the underlying material.

This series of works is made even more special by a particular technique developed by the artist: applying the shavings of the pastels directly onto the panel. These color fragments are integrated into the surface, creating reliefs, chromatic vibrations, and an intense textural quality that makes each panel unique. In this way, a balance between technical control and spontaneity is created, marking the artist’s transition from a consolidated digital practice to a more tactile, artisanal, and profoundly material approach.

Giulia Piras began her studies at the Faculty of Biological Sciences due to her interest in naturalistic themes. However, she opted for a change of direction toward the Academy of Fine Arts, where she had the opportunity to deepen and apply her passion for scientific illustration. She continues her studies specializing in Illustration at ISIA Urbino. Today she lives in the Marche countryside, in Italy, surrounded by the Apennines, oak forests, and flowering meadows. She collaborates with publishers, magazines, companies, and advertising agencies.

She is selected for the Renner Award for Contemporary Art. In 2021 she won the "Digital Inclusion" competition organized by Posterheroes. In 2025 she is selected for the Annual of Image Authors and for the BRAW (Bologna Ragazzi Award) Amazing Bookshelf.
