VIRGINIE COGNET

"After having worked in textiles for 15 years (as stylist, artistic director and manager of product innovation), I decided to leave the corporate system to dedicate myself to a more personal and creative project: illustration. I find inspiration in nature, animals, travels and the small beautiful things of life that I attempt to enhance in my work. My gouache paintings are colourful and poetic. I like the idea that my drawings might bring comfort, encourage escapism, or make people smile.
My work also extends to publishing, visual identity and packaging, press and textile."
