About me

When needlework marries art

Visit my gallery

My aspiration to offer original works and  patterns, possibly of artistic value, is perfectly married to a  desire to experiment with new forms of expression by one of the few Italian internationally known strips designer: Cinzia Ghigliano.  

Her exceptional career began in 1976 with the monthly  "Linus", where she publishes "Le canzoni dell'altra storia". Her immediate success is so much that in the following year takes life on the magazine "Amica" "Lea Martelli ' s adventures “,  a rare example of feminist comic content addressed to a wider Italian  audience.

The debut on the international stage dates back to 1984, with the release of its first episode of the successful series "Solange", published in several European countries.

Over the years, Ghigliano become a familiar presence on prestigious publications such as "Il Corriere dei Piccoli," "Snoopy" and "Pimpa", which prevents it from not engage in parallel, a production that finds pictorial as a positive - and, sometimes, even enthusiastic - by the most careful art critics, attracted to the perfect mix of creativity and technology that forms the backbone of all hers works.

Last balloon out, on texts by Bianca Pitzorno, " Nonno Selvaggio" Ed. Mondadori 2007.

She currently works as illustrator with major publishing houses.

Cinzia Ghigliano lives and works in Mondovi, in the province of Cuneo, with her husband Marco Tomatis who has been for a long time the  author of the screenplays of his comics.
