Silvana Mariani

Silvana Mariani creates illustrations that delicately balance evocation and disclosure, situated aesthetically at the intersection of painterly strokes and graphic-digital taste.
Under the brand Open Toe Illustration, she compiles sketches from a contemporary diary inspired by fashion and original surface patterns for textile decoration.
