These works are created through an artisanal, experimental process that makes each board unique. The surface is carefully prepared and embellished with selected natural papers and textural elements, creating an irregular, three-dimensional, richly textured base that enhances the structure of the board. This surface is then worked unevenly using mixed media, with water-soluble pastels playing a central role in creating layers, transparencies, and contrasts that interact with the material beneath. Each work reflects a balance between technical control and the spontaneity of the materials, marking the artist’s transition from an established digital practice to a more tactile, handcrafted, and material-based approach.

Giulia Piras began her studies in the Faculty of Biological Sciences, driven by her interest in nature-related subjects. However, she chose to change direction and attend the Academy of Fine Arts, where she was able to explore and put her passion for scientific illustration into practice.
She continued her studies, specializing in Illustration at ISIA in Urbino. Today she lives in the Marche countryside in Italy, surrounded by the Apennines, oak woods, and flower-filled meadows. She collaborates with publishing houses, magazines, companies, and advertising agencies.
She was selected for the Renner Prize for Contemporary Art. In 2021, she won the “Digital Inclusion” competition organized by Posterheroes. In 2025, she was selected for the Autori di Immagini Annual and for the BRAW (Bologna Ragazzi Award) Amazing Bookshelf.
