Biography: Emiliano Ponzi was born in Reggio Emilia in 1978. He lives and works in New York, USA. As an illustrator and visual artist, Ponzi has worked for many years in various sectors including publishing (Penguin Books, Feltrinelli), magazines (The New York Times, The New Yorker, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Esquire), fashion (Louis Vuitton, Armani, Bulgari, Gucci), and advertising (Apple, Lavazza, Cartier, Hyundai, Martini, Moleskine, Airbnb, TIM, Pirelli, Ferrari, MoMA, Triennale Milano). Recently, he has embarked on a new challenge, deciding to “get his hands dirty” with painting. Among the artists who have inspired him in this transition from illustration to painting are Lorenzo Mattotti, the way of looking at the image is similar to the somewhat voyeuristic yet subtle style of Hopper, as well as David Hockney and Alex Katz. His awards include the Young Guns Award and the coveted Gold Cube from the Art Directors Club of New York, along with several medals of honor (gold and silver) from the Society of Illustrators in New York. He has written and illustrated four books: The Journey of the Penguin (2015) for the anniversary of Penguin Books; The Great New York Subway Map (2017) for MoMA in New York; American West (2018), documenting his journey through the western United States; and Cronaca dalla Zona Rossa (2020), daily notes on the first lockdown in Italy.
