Fernando Cobelo

Fernando Cobelo is an illustrator from Venezuela who currently lives and works in Italy. He put his childhood passion for drawing aside to study architecture in college and didn't pick up a pencil again until many years later when he received his first commission from a US shoe manufacturer, rekindling his passion and transforming it into a full-time job.

Throughout his career, he's worked on a range of projects for clients such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, il Corriere della Sera, Penguin Random House, Zanichelli, multinational corporations including Google, Disney, Samsung, Montblanc, Lonely Planet, and WeTransfer, as well as prominent institutions like the UN and UNICEF. He has also taught and run workshops at schools and universities in Italy, Mexico, India, Russia, China, and a host of other countries.
