Not everyone is comfortable with words; some people can fully express themselves through music, others through images. For this reason, we have decided to start this new type of format in which we give 5 prompts to some of the illustrators we like the most and ask them to respond through sketches. Not something complex and elaborate, but just rough sketches on paper, like when as children we give shape to our imagination. This is Malvina Penati.

My name is Malvina and I am an Italian illustrator and a mixed media creative overall.
My background goes from Fashion design to Illustration, in which I just finished doing an MA in London.
I like experimenting different techniques, based on how I want to convey a message/story in each different project.
Recurring themes of my work are memories and nostalgia, especially those of other people which I love to narrate. Also I think is quite evident my passion for other art’s forms, especially literature through my constant use of writing, which always played an important role in my practice.
