From Turin to Seoul: Aurora’s Creative and Personal Journey

After graduating in Illustration from IED Torino, Aurora Raso decided to turn the uncertainty of post-graduation life into a unique opportunity: a six-month internship in Seoul, South Korea.

There, she worked for a fashion brand that had previously relied solely on artificial intelligence for its illustrations. Aurora brought a human and creative touch, transforming the graphics with her own personal style.

The city itself became a source of inspiration: neon lights, vibrant colors, and everyday details enriched her visual language, turning every corner of Seoul into creative material.

The experience also represented personal growth. Living and working far from home pushed her to face doubts and challenges with curiosity and lightness, turning obstacles into opportunities for learning and artistic development.

Seoul thus became a laboratory, a daily source of inspiration, and a key milestone in Aurora’s journey, ready to tell the world through her own style.
