Rossella Paolini

Italian painter and illustrator Rossella Paolini was born in Trieste, a city surrounded by sea and woods, and now lives in its historic center near a medieval castle and Roman forum. She began drawing at a young age, inspired by storybook illustrations and Walt Disney’s animated films.

She started oil painting under the guidance of a student of the renowned painter Renato Guttuso. As an adult, she became an Art Director, organizing and participating in Fantasy-themed exhibitions at festivals, fairs, and galleries and specializing in children’s illustration.
