Sara Filiputti was born in Rome. She graduated in 2003 from the Academy of Fine Arts and subsequently trained and worked in the field of advertising graphics. Only in 2017 did she approach the world of children’s illustration, starting her studies. The technique she prefers is the traditional one of colored pencils and pastels. At the same time she loves to experiment, always opening up to new expressive possibilities, also making use of digital media, which she uses above all in the final composition phase of the image.
