Laura Désirée Pozzi

Born in Milan, I obtained the five-year Diploma in Art, figurative address, at the Art School "Bruno Cassinari" of Piacenza and, five years later, graduating with honors in Education, Professional Educator address at the University of Bologna. After a few years in the field of adult social unrest, in which I have put in place several laboratories of expressive activity, I enrolled and graduated with honors in Illustration at the School of Applied Arts of Castello Sforzesco in Milan. I follow in the meantime workshops with Svjetlan Junakovic, Linda Wolfsgruber and Chiara Carrer. I have received various awards, including the selection to "Pisa Next Talent" 2012, at the Museum of Graphic Art of Pisa, the publication of "Cenicienta" for the collective Fixionaria, Argentina and the selection for "Pinocchio Biennale 2014," at the Luzzati Museum of Genoa. I work with Italian and foreign publishers, like Centro Studi Erickson, ELI, Gaia Edizioni, Quercetti, Coccole Books, Internazionale, Gründ, Helbling Languages, Maison des Langues - Difusión and Les Petites Bulles éditions. I live in Angoulême where I made an artistic residence at the Maison des Auteurs de la Cité International de la Bande Dessinée et de l'Image. Actually, I work like character designer for the new serie "Barbapapa", at the animation studio Normaal, in Angoulême.
