Cristiana Leone was born in Civitavecchia (RM) in 1980. She developed a passion for drawing at a young age, but her classical studies and work kept her from pursuing her passion for years, until, at age 27, she decided to return to art and, as a self-taught artist, committed herself to studying and learning as much as possible. In the years that followed, she began her first collaborations in the art world, until in 2012 she left her job as a secretary to become a full-time artist. Today, she works as an illustrator, character designer, and concept artist, collaborating with both private clients and Italian and international publishers on books, role-playing and card games, and TTRPG manuals.
Among her most important clients and collaborations are: TOEI ANIMATION (a project still under wraps), WARHAMMER FANTASY, BANG! Legends, BANG! Black Flag, BLASPHEMOUS - The Board Game, MONDADORI, FANUCCI EDITORE, ETEREA EDIZIONI, LO SCARABEO, ULISSES SPIELE (The Dark Eye), GHOSTFIRE GAMING (Arora, The Monster Grimoire, Dungeons of Drakkenheim), and many others.
