Cecilia Battaini is an illustrator, surface designer and art educator from Milan, Italy. When they’re not drawing in their cozy studio, you can find them traveling around the world with their sketchbook and pencils, searching for plants and flowers to use as an inspiration for their nature-inspired illustrations and patterns. From lush flowers to curious mushrooms, from cute animals to vibrant vegetables, Cecilia turns the wonders of the natural world into charming, imaginative artwork ready to bring stories to life. All their illustrations are hand-drawn with colored pencils, scanned onto their laptop, and arranged into patterns and illustrations using Affinity.
They've always learnt from nature, and its rhythms, colors, and stories are what inspired them as a child. Today, Cecilia creates hand-drawn illustrations that reflect that same wonder. Licensing existing artwork or collaborating on something new, their creations are featured on wallpapers, greeting cards, wall art and much more.
Cecilia discovered an unexpected love for drawing flowers during a difficult period in their teenager years, and today they feel so grateful to do what they love to bring joy, healing and beauty to many people through their art. That’s why they call it the expression of their inner garden: it represents their feelings, dreams, memories and emotions. And that’s exactly what they’re aiming to: to help people to grow their own inner garden.
