ART BY STEFANIA RUSSO

Stefania Russo, aka Illusorya (previously under the nickname LadyFanhir), is a self-taught and independent artist. Born in 1984, she's living in the North-West Italy.

Stefania is a traditional artist favoring watercolors. She focuses on the art world as self-defense from the first obfuscations of a breakdown due to the mental and physical instability in her persona. If initially art was used as a therapy to escape from reality, over time, it became a source of inspiration to the path she had been looking for: through the most elegant and dream-like form of Dark Grotesque. 

Her art has been published in several international publications, including Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Heavy Music Artwork and Out Of Step Books Publishing. Some of her works has been exhibits at international galleries, such as Metamorphosis Gallery (Willetton, Australia), Curio Art Gallery (previously Penumbra Gallery in Portugal) and La Luz De Jesus Gallery (Los Angeles, USA).

Stefania currently work as indie artist, open to private/commercial commissions and being part of global art projects such as 78 Tarot and Braiiinz! Publishing. More than this, shehas recently opens her own atelier to the public, giving the chance to visit and purchase in person her artworks and more unpublished handmade creations.
