Hi, I’m Sergio Ingravalle
—the illustrator behind Maivisto Studio. I create attention-grabbing visuals that bring aesthetic and emotional value to your product, campaign, editorial feature, or social media channel. Agencies and clients — including Coca-Cola, Paramount+, Adidas, FC Bayern Munich, and others—trust me to help their brands and stories stand out across sports, branding, and editorial projects.
Illustration has a unique power to spark curiosity, invite interaction, and build an emotional connection, shaped by the unique visual language of each piece. I aim to create imagery that helps your message resonate and stay memorable.
Depending on the project, my work moves between two main directions:
dynamic, vibrant visuals that bring motion and energy to moments across sport and culture; and conceptual illustrations that distill the essence of a story into a single, striking image.
Drawing has been part of my life since childhood—first with pencil and ink, now often digitally with a signature blend of techniques—allowing me to work flexibly, fast, and adapt to the creative needs of each project. Along the way, my work has been honored with awards like the Red Dot, German Design Award, and ADC.
If you’re looking for attention-grabbing visuals to elevate your next project, feel free to drop me a line at info@maivisto.de or call me at +49 176 63 64 71 91. I’d love to hear from you.
