Paola Zoccarato is an Illustrator & designer based in Italy and Cyprus. 

Her work aims to capture the essence of the images that surround her.  The images are connected to an idea of ​​nature which is mother and which represents a possible positive response to the current crisis of reference values.

Through the reworked images of the idea of ​​mother-nature, the predominantly female characters transfigure their anthropomorphic features and tend to liberate the idea of ​​themselves.
