My Story
I'm Michele di Erre, an italian illustrator, painter, and visual storyteller.
My work lives between the poetic and the surreal, mixing figurative art, symbolism and dreamlike narratives. Each piece is a hand-crafted fragment of a world just outside the ordinary where animals, people, and nature blend into one visionary tale.
My practice spans original drawings, oil paintings, acrylic, collectible fine art prints and graphic novels. Whether on canvas, wood or recycled paper, I create with traditional techniques and an eye for the unexpected, always aiming to transform images into thresholds of meaning.
Based between Italy and the UK (but often found sketching the world), I work independently, offering limited edition art prints, original surreal art for sale, custom commissions and unique visual objects for collectors and art lovers alike.
I believe in art as a poetic resistance, a way to reclaim attention, emotion and imagination.
This is not art for everyone.
But it might just be the art you’ve been looking for.

UrbAnimal – Exhibition
Until to I don't know!
51 Manifattura Alimentare, Lungo Dora Firenze 51A, Turin
The exhibition UrbAnimal marks the natural evolution of the Primate Collection and will be on view throughout 2025 at Locale 51, during the venue’s opening hours. The show features five new works: portraits of monkeys and chimpanzees captured in strikingly human, ironic and poetic expressions.
Created with mixed media and meticulous attention to detail, these paintings go beyond zoological representation to become emotional and symbolic portraits, each revealing a story, a character, a soul.
Balancing symbolic black and white with contemporary lyricism, UrbAnimal invites visitors to reflect on the connection between humanity and nature, while offering medium-sized original artworks ready to enter private collections.
A unique opportunity for art collectors, interior designers and lovers of visionary art, expressive portraiture and the evocative power of the animal world.

ovvero Disegna la tua Palestina ad occhi chiusi
Una performance collettiva di arte, memoria e resistenza
Immagina di chiudere gli occhi e lasciare che siano la tua memoria e la tua immaginazione a guidare la mano.
Con “Disegna la tua Palestina ad occhi chiusi” ogni partecipante diventa artista di un segno interiore: non importa saper disegnare, importa dare forma a ciò che portiamo dentro.
👉 Un volto che affiora, un paesaggio interrotto, un simbolo che resiste.
👉 Un tratto incerto che diventa testimonianza.
👉 Un gesto semplice che si trasforma in atto poetico e politico.
Tutti i disegni raccolti confluiscono in un Atlante Invisibile: un archivio collettivo fatto di tracce, memorie e visioni condivise.
📌 La performance è aperta a tuttə: scuole, festival, spazi culturali, comunità.
📌 Non servono competenze artistiche: basta la voglia di mettersi in gioco.
📌 Durata: da 30 minuti a un’ora, o quanto il gruppo vorrà.
✨ Disegnare senza vedere per imparare a vedere diversamente.
From Pure White to the Colours of Fairy Tales:
A Journey Through Light, Matter, and Imagination
"White is not an absence but a realm of infinite possibilities, where light takes shape and the invisible becomes tangible. This exhibition begins with the purity of white, exploring its nuances through drawings and paintings, revealing a suspended reality between dream and perception. Yet, white is only the beginning, a passage towards colour. Gradually, the works evolve, introducing vibrant hues and reimagining characters from classic and modern fairy tales. From monochrome urban sketches to richly coloured oil paintings on canvas and masonite, each piece is a step in the artist’s journey. This is not just an evolution of style but a discovery of storytelling through light and pigment. Every artwork is unique, signed and authenticated, inviting the viewer to step into a world where reality and wonder merge."
