About

I am Marianna Pasina / Cipuva and I am an illustrator and graphic designer.

I love picture books and animation. I attended my bachelor in Design and Arts at Free University of Bolzano and after graduating I started working with studio fuoriposto, a creative studio with a focus on video production. Meanwhile I developed my passion for illustration and animation, attending many specific courses and workshop, including Ars in Fabula in Macerata and IED Milano. Later i attended a one-year master in Design for children in Bolzano.

The name Cipuva comes from onion (cipolla) and grape (uva), and it’s an extravagant combination of flavours you can taste when you put a half onion in the fridge, too close to the grape by mistake.
