(16 July 2015) For the IlustraTour 2015, the Italian Cultural Institute of Madrid will host two meetings with Emiliano Ponzi and the heads of the prestigious school “MiMaster Illustration”. Ponzi, award-winning illustrator in the biggest competitions in the world, during his prolific career, has worked for advertising, magazines, books, press and animation and, among its customers, there are the New York Times, Le Monde, The New Yorker , The Boston Globe, Time, The Economist, Newsweek, Penguin books, Saatchi & Saatchi New York, Leo Burnett Iberia, La Repubblica, Feltrinelli, Il Sole 24 Ore, Mondadori, Wired, and the Triennale Design Museum. The first event is scheduled for Wednesday, July 22 at noon, during which the illustrator will analyze the challenges and opportunities that emerge in the effort to transform an artistic vocation into a job with a future potential. The other meeting, scheduled for Friday, July 24 (8pm), will be divided instead into two parts: “Shared and Single Consciousness” will focus on the symbols and metaphors of Ponzi’s illustration; the second part will be dedicated to “training for excellence”.
