Between Nature & Geometry

Martina Merlini aka P0na is a young and gifted Italian artist-illustrator from Bologna.

I really enjoy her very personal style, elegant sense of color and strong graphic compositions. 

And also her love of Constructivism! Of course I am not the only one, and Martina's  artworks, 

often featuring a combination of enigmatic animal forms and abstract geometric elements,

 have started to increasingly appear in various blogs, exhibitons, record covers, 

magazines and walls around the country.
