Riccardo Labella is a freelance illustrator and visual artist born and based in Naples, Italy.

He graduated in Architecture at the University of Naples Federico II, and later studied at the Scuola italiana di Comix. His artistic research focuses on the intersection of perspective, texture, and light. His work is characterized by a cinematic visual style and a sophisticated, atmospheric use of shadow and grit.

Drawing inspiration from urban landscapes and silent narratives, he translates architectural rigor into evocative illustrations that balance nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics. Through his lens and brush, every composition becomes a contemplative space where the mundane is elevated to the poetic.
