• Fernando is a Venezuelan illustrator living in Italy
• He mixes square lines with hand drawn textures for a tactile feel
• He loves working in black and white, and adding just a splash of colour

With acrylics, pencils and digital tools, Fernando Cobelo has drawn a body of work filled with square lines, few colours and deep meanings. “My work carries a lot of empathy and research, too,” he says. “Being an illustrator means telling other people’s stories, even when they feel a world away from my own experiences. It is a huge responsibility to me, and I do my best to succeed.” Since the beginning of Fernando's creative journey, his illustration has found its way to a wide range of clients, including Netflix, Google and even the United Nations. His work is equally featured in international newspapers and magazines, from the New York Times to the Italian La Repubblica.
