Artist and illustrator

I created this illustration in collaboration with the amazing Mercury Phoenix Trust team for the Freddie Mercury birthday party, which will take part on the 3rd of September 2022 in Montreux, at the Casinò Barriere. 

The idea started, as suggested by the Mercury Phoenix Trust team, by one of the fragments of the video of "The Great Pretender"; after some drafts and illustrations, has been chosen the regal image of Freddie with the crown, which not only has been part of the video of "The Great Pretender", cover sang by Freddie, but has been an icon in one of the last concerts of Freddie with Queen, 1986.

The colors that have been chosen are always around the pink jacket that Freddie uses in "The Great Pretender" video, like the back ground and the text part.

The image has been used for different uses, like the advertising on Facebook, on Queen Online website but also on the video dislpay at the Casinò Barriere in Montreux. 

Last but not least, the image has been used to be part of the merchandise of the party, like Posters and T-shirts.

The illustration has became an official design of the Mercury Phoenix Trust foundation and had became property of the Queen Production.  Each sale of the tickets and the merchandise has been destined to the association.
