Mauro Carraro · Commissioned illustration
Original illustration for objects and publications.
A drawing can become the image carried by a perfume object or an anniversary book. Mauro Carraro’s commissioned illustrations bring an authored visual language to these tangible settings.
The drawing and its destination.
For an object, the image is encountered at close range. For a publication, it enters a printed world. These two completed commissions document different applications of Mauro’s drawing: the illustrated cap of Sand and Skin and Grafiche Milani’s anniversary book.
