Visual Storyteller
ABOUT
Chiara Dattola is based in Milan but works internationally.
Active in the fields of editorial illustration, design, and artistry since 2000, she has earned widespread international recognition. Her work spans collaborations with newspapers, magazines, and advertising agencies around the globe.
Chiara creates original artworks and children’s books, both as an author and illustrator, and develops related art and illustration projects for global audiences. Her illustrations have been featured in group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
In 2021, she joined the French collective Contributive as its official illustrator. The ongoing project aims to promote a new economic model centered on contribution rather than competition.
Chiara also conducts workshops on visual communication for adults and children, collaborating with public and private institutions, academies, and art schools.
In 2022, she launched her own educational initiative SMALL ACADEMIA.
