Hello! I'm Francesca Cosanti, an Italian illustrator based in Puglia. My work embraces a graphic and simple style, where shapes and colors dance to convey ideas swiftly. While my creative process starts slowly, once inspiration strikes, my illustrations come to life in an instant. What truly sets me apart is my knack for understanding clients' needs and delivering beyond expectations.
Throughout my career, I've garnered recognition both in Italy and abroad. From prestigious exhibitions like Sharja Exhibition For Children's Book Illustration to creating compelling illustrations for social campaigns denouncing violence against women, my portfolio is rich with diverse experiences. For example collaborating with the Festival della Valle D'Itria on opera posters and stage design has been particularly gratifying, allowing me to merge my artistic vision with the world of music in innovative ways.
Drawing has always been my passion, nurtured by family support and a deep love for art. Inspired by nature, travel, and everyday experiences, I infuse life into my illustrations with vibrant colors and smart concepts. When not creating, you can find me baking, walking with my husband and our furry companions, or championing causes close to my heart. Ultimately, I aspire to be remembered as an illustrator who crafts intelligent illustrations and heartwarming portraits, especially of lovely pets.
