Valentina Bongiovanni is a freelance illustrator and muralist based in Turin, Italy.
She earned her degree in Product Design from IAAD in Turin and further specialized by completing a Master’s in Editorial Illustration at MiMaster in Milan. Her professional development includes international training at design studios in Madrid and Amsterdam, experiences that helped define her distinctive visual language – a universe inhabited by mythological creatures and soft shapes, characterized by bold color contrasts and a handcrafted aesthetic applied across diverse media.
Currently a lecturer in illustration at the International School of Comics in Turin, she collaborates with prestigious brands and editorial outlets such as Corriere della Sera, Teatro alla Scala, Superga, Carpano, and Carioca. Her artistic research often explores themes of social significance, including female empowerment, and has been featured in various exhibitions, notably a solo show at the MAU (Museum of Urban Art) in Turin. In 2022, she published her first illustrated book, Asia – favole dei 4 continenti, solidifying her ability to translate complex narratives into vibrant, engaging imagery.
