ABOUT

I'm a professional color artist for comics/movies and illustrator.

My color work can be seen in titles by DC COMICS, VERTIGO, DISNEY, MARVEL, IMAGE, BONELLI and others. After about ten years in comics, I'm letting my passion, experience and skill grow, setting new challenges and exploring other artistic fields.

Artist and illustrator Barbara Ciardo has been working in the fields of art and publishing for nearly twenty years. Telling stories, especially through the powerful medium of color, is a passion that has driven her entire career. Over the years, she has collaborated on comics, book covers, collectible cards and board games with both national and international publishers, including Mondadori, DC Comics, Warner Bros., Marvel, Disney, Podium Audio, Don't Panic Games, Lo Scarabeo, Gribaudo, and Sergio Bonelli Editore.

She also contributed as a concept and background artist to the award-winning animated feature film Cinderella the Cat

Her personal work reveals a universe that explores the therapeutic power of stories, myths, and dreamlike imagery, as well as the endless narrative possibilities of color.

She lives, works and dreams in Naples where she runs her own studio.
