About the author

Stefano Berganto was born in Switzerland and studied Fine Arts in Paris, France from 1986 to 1990. He works as an artist, illustrator and author.

To get a taste of the Parisian air, he traveled to the "City of Light" at the age of 18, where he deepened his knowledge of art and culture between Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Seven years later, he moved to Geneva with a portfolio full of drawings and sketches. He had no idea of the latent potential they held until a twist of fate led him to bring these treasures to life:  Yopiki was born, and the foundation for a series of books was laid.

Art is the common thread of his life, and it is not hard to see that Stefano Berganto finds fulfillment through his creative work. His writing and drawing reveal a poetic approach that places the vibrant colors of life at the center of his visual stories.
