Hello!

My name is Stefano Scapolan. I'm a visual artist with 15+ years of experience in the Animation Industry with a focus on Production Design and Art Direction.

I’m fascinated by the power of visual communication and I love to use colours and lighting to express and push the emotions inside stories, exploring different styles, formats and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.

Children Book Illustrator by training, I worked for more than a decade in the Art Department of the Academy Award® nominated studio Cartoon Saloon, where I had the opportunity to refine my skills in Colour Design and Composition while developing a personal approach to the use of  light/shadow and colour harmonies as storytelling element.

After that experience I became a freelance to be able to explore new realities, pushing my aesthetic and growing my skills on new international productions as well as pursuing my own animation and illustration projects.
