⌜ MOON ⌝
In this illustration, the female figure emerges against a saturated violet background, in dialogue with a deep blue moon suspended in the visual space. The elongated, geometric lines of the body, combined with the essential color palette, create a tension between abstraction and recognizability. The composed, silent pose amplifies the sense of suspension and anticipation. The face, marked by an enigmatic expression, becomes the emotional focal point, while the flat color surfaces enhance the hypnotic and rarefied atmosphere of the work.
Returning from Mortorio Island, the Sardinian sea becomes a hypnotic landscape.
Filmed with iPhone and reworked with After Effects, where illustration flows with the waves.
Filmed in Sardinia with iPhone and merged with illustration, this seagull glides between the tangible and the dreamlike.
A suspended moment beyond the horizon.
Real footage of Sardinian fish shot with iPhone, reimagined through illustration and After Effects.
An underwater rhythm between reality and imagination.

⌜ SUMMER VIBES ⌝
Summer Vibes is a short trilogy of hypnotic videos created during my stay in Sardinia. Each fragment blends real footage shot with an iPhone with my illustrated world, where the boundary between reality and imagination dissolves. Fish, seagulls, and the shimmering sea become part of a minimal and dreamlike landscape, reinterpreted through Adobe After Effects. The series was inspired by the return from Mortorio Island and carries the light, colors, and rhythm of a Sardinian summer.
A moment of presence and impermanence.

⌜ SUSPENSION ⌝
from perception to intention
Elsewhere_ is part of an ongoing series exploring stillness, tension, and emotional detachment.
Born from a fast and expressive ballpoint pen sketch, the figure was later reworked into a flat digital illustration with clean gradients, vibrant contrasts, and sculptural elegance.
The transition from raw mark-making to polished silence becomes the core of the work.
Eyes that seem present—yet gone. A posture of waiting. A gaze held elsewhere.
This piece merges analog instinct and vector precision, echoing my process:
from hand to screen, from feeling to form.
The rhythm mirrors the internal movement of the figure: slow, soft, unresolved.
No planning, no reference — just a spontaneous emergence of a shape, a look, a feeling.
This phase remains essential in my process, anchoring the final image to something emotional and unfiltered.

⌜ HELD ⌝
Held_ is a reflection on emotional containment.
The figure sits in ritual stillness, her body forming a closed yet balanced composition.
The bright red sun imposes a silent tension, while the blue stone she touches becomes a symbol of memory, weight, or thought.
Nothing moves, yet everything is charged.
This illustration continues Mila's research into inner states through minimal, symbolic gestures. Like in Glass_ or Waiting_, the silence is not absence — it’s density.
⌜ 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗗, 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ⌟
This is how I imagine a possible installation for the Held_ series.
Alongside the illustrations and the video, I always envision three-dimensional elements that complete the work: a sculptural presence, something physical that gives shape to what is only suggested in the images.
The central bench echoes the stone found in the series — a symbol of grounding and stillness. The suspended wires, made of red enamelled copper, represent thoughts, ideas, invisible connections between the self, the earth, and others.
An interplay of forms and materials that turns Held_ into an immersive experience — between body, image, and space.
This virtual exhibition was conceived as a personal and immersive space to host the Glass_ series. The scene was designed as a suspended, intimate, and theatrical environment, where every element resonates with silence and presence.
At the center of the space stands a female figure — a digital sculpture born from one of my drawings, processed through artificial intelligence and integrated into the scene to express a still, timeless tension. My long-term desire is to create a real resin sculpture inspired by one of my illustrated figures, translating the digital body into matter.
The exhibition unfolds around her: a looping video of the submerged figure — the heart of the Glass_ series — is projected at the center, flanked by two static works from the same series. Above, a constellation of suspended sketches floats gently, as if held by invisible threads — traces of gesture, echoes of thought.
This space is not real, and yet it is entirely mine.
08
⌜ GLASS_ ⌝
“Glass” is a visual meditation on fragility.
The female figure, multiplied yet never identical, explores the self through transparent surfaces and interrupted gestures.
Glass — now mirror, now chalice — becomes the filter between the world and the inner self.
But in the end, as the gesture spills what it once held, only the bare figure remains before her own absence.
A work on intimacy, silence, and the act of letting go.
07
⌜ WHISPER_ ⌝
Whisper_ was born from a raw, expressive sketch —
a figure curled into herself, as if listening inward.
In the final illustration, that same figure opens outward, surrounded by nervous, delicate lines emerging from her head like a stream of thoughts. They are ideas, memories, reflections — a quiet tension that takes visual shape. A mental echo that cannot be contained, that doesn’t scream, but whispers.
06
⌜ CURRENT_ ⌝
A female figure, ethereal and suspended, drifts gently in the air. Her hair and dress are moved by an invisible wind, drawing fluid lines that extend beyond the frame. She floats, but she is not lost. She is present, immersed in her own rhythm, in a slow breath that animates the entire composition. The gesture is minimal, essential. The palette is soft, and the space around her amplifies the sense of lightness and suspension.
Each element, reduced to the necessary, contributes to a visual atmosphere that is poetic and introspective.
05
⌜ BLUE DRIFT_ ⌝
Blue Drift_ originates from recent paper sketches — quick, instinctive visual notes. The starting point is the present: free, fluid, immediate.
The face emerges from a deep blue background, as if rising from a thought. She is a figure in transition — not fully here, but approaching. Her gaze looks afar, suggesting a conscious stillness, a state of waiting.
The title, Blue Drift, evokes this quiet floating, a gentle shift between emotion and form. The balance of filled and empty spaces, soft curves and sharp lines, creates an image that breathes without moving.
04
⌜WAITING_⌝
Waiting_ originates from the reinterpretation of one of my early oil paintings. The female figure, with her full belly, embodies a deep suspension — a form of waiting that is not only physical, but also emotional and inner.
The first illustration is composed, almost restrained; the second holds a similar pose but feels more intense, suggesting a transformation happening in silence. Both explore motherhood as a moment of listening and concentration, where time seems to stretch.
In the reel, the two images alternate in a hypnotic
and repetitive rhythm, creating a powerful and symbolic visual effect. A cycle of waiting that pulses, vibrates, breathes.
