Maurizio Esposito (paleostudio)
“The pastel illustrations on a black sheet are the representation of my creative path, still to be explored, where the colours are released from the darkness.”
Illustrator Maurizio Esposito specialises in projects for the publishing industry. He began his freelance practice in 1998 and has worked as a visualiser and illustrator for clients including Baldini & Castoldi, IBI editions and Riza Edizioni.
