Mara Pidello uses illustration as a megaphone — it’s the medium through which she makes her voice heard and tells the story of life as seen through her own lens. She loves the nakedness of black and white, but also the richness of color. She absorbs everything she sees, and her pencil becomes a funnel that distills the essential onto the page. Through drawing, she tells stories and highlights details or everyday moments that have been blurred by the fast pace of time.
