Artwork description:

This is a quote I particularly like by Oscar Wilde and his statue is just nearby in Merrion Sqaure. The sides of the box capture bits of the nearby architecture, but the main focus is on Oscar's question to us: are we living or just existing? I find it an invitation to take the wheel of our lives and make the most of it, rather than letting days go by, running out of our precious time.

Biography:

I am an illustrator working in Dublin, originally from Italy. Focusing a lot on character design, I like to tell stories through drawings. I like to evoke a sense of magic, feed the imagination, and encourage introspection.
