Rossella Paolini
Italian painter and illustrator, Rossella Paolini was born in Trieste, a city of sea and woods, and lives in the historic heart of the city between a medieval castle and a Roman forum. She draws from a very young age, loving the illustrations of storybooks and animated films by Walt Disney.
As a child Rossella was passionate about visiting museums, archaeological sites and art galleries and began to paint in oils in the studio of a teacher, a pupil of the famous painter Renato Gottuso. Subsequently in her adulthood she participates and organises as Art Director various exhibitions in Festivals, Fairs and galleries exclusively on the Fantasy theme. Specialising in illustration for children after attending an international school in Italy, she participates and wins many competitions with exhibitions in Italy and France.
Rossella Paolini creates and dreams in her studio where, in addition to the tools of the trade, she has a vast collection of illustrated books from which she draws inspiration.
