About < Elvezia Cavagna

I'm artist and illustrator, I live in Bergamo, Italy. Since 2005, I teach art techniques to adults and children through drawing and painting courses and creative laboratories; I also work in schools and cultural centers.

In my works I use a mixed technique both in painting and illustration. Particularly in illustration, I start using graphite, watercolors, acrylics and colored pencils on paper, then I continue using digital media.

I like taking walks, go to the cinema and to art exhibitions. I also like cooking but above all I love drawing.
