The Rome-based artist is best known for her captivating illustrations, which are defined by vivid hues and often accompanied by ironic captions

<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/gucci-beauty-reveals-its-most-desirable-launch-yet">Gucci Beauty</a>&nbsp;has appointed&nbsp;Emma Allegretti&nbsp;to create a portfolio of artworks for the brand to address the current social climate we are facing. And here, we have a quick interview with the artist as&nbsp;she opens up about the&nbsp;inspiration behind her all-female characters,&nbsp;and how she tackles social issues through her art.

Where do you find inspiration? Are your characters inspired by women you know?

Absolutely! I am constantly inspired by the women in my life, and also&nbsp;what surrounds me and how it feels.

&nbsp;

You created a water-coloured world defined by female characters.&nbsp;Tell us why.

I find that working in watercolours adds depth to my illustrations, which&nbsp;perfectly reflects the depth of the female characters portrayed. It is also incredibly soothing to not stare at a screen and to focus wholly on the creation of my work.

Was humour always a part of your work? How did it evolve?

Humour has always been a part of my life, I would say. I have always found it comforting to make light of certain situations, where&nbsp;appropriate.&nbsp;It seems to make things more manageable, and less overwhelming.

&nbsp;

You often tackle contemporary social issues, what drives you to do&nbsp;that?

I cannot help but tackle what I find to be important. I want my illustrations to have a voice, and to speak about things that might be uncomfortable for some. In doing so, it will somehow give strength and reassurance to others.
