Claudia Gironi, aka Wisesnail on the web, was born in Italy, but currently lives and works in London. Japanese Language and Culture graduate, Schiele enthusiast and art lover, she decided to teach herself digital painting a few years ago – since then she has never abandoned her stylus. Huge fan of atmospheric landscapes, portraits, and colour explosions, she mainly works in Photoshop, combining the versatility of the digital approach to the expressive brushstrokes of a more traditional method.
