ABOUT ME
Beatrice Tinarelli (Bologna, 16th June 1978)
I was born in Bologna, where I grew up and still live and work as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer.
I draw and paint ever since I can remember, I see faces everywhere, I gather pencils, I collect vinyl,
I like watching the lightning during a thunderstorm and I wish it were always Winter.
I am also a DJ since the age of 19 and I have been living my whole life into music.
When I grow up, I will be an astronaut.
