I'm Michela Tannoia, also known as Bee in a Nest

Behind me I have about fifteen years of intense experience in the world of visual design. My career in the field of creativity has changed path a few times enriching my experience as a designer, and allowing me now to exploit this wide range of knowledge to develop important diversified projects.

Something more about my process

To develop my work, I draw inspiration from European classical art, spanning from the Late Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Inspired by European Classical Art

My tools of choice are ink along with various instruments such as nibs, pens, and Kuretake brushes. The techique is a classic graphic style of the illustrations of the XVIII and XIX century.

Tools & Techniques

Over the years, I have learned and mastered numerous traditional and digital color techniques, including watercolors, markers, colored inks, colored pencils, and digital coloring on Photoshop or Procreate. With a significant background in digital media, I specialize in using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Color & Digital Media

I am passionate about my work, which for me is not just a profession but a lifestyle. Consistently practicing drawing, I also stay attuned to industry trends. My preparation extends beyond the computer, involving participation in sector fairs related to packaging, fabrics, wine, and art. I travel across Italy and Europe, constantly seeking new inspirations to infuse into my work and to share with collaborators.

A Lifestyle of Passion & Trend Awareness
