Fernando Cobelo

Fernando Cobelo – author of books such as Todo queda igual, pero igual cambia and Mil maneras de perderte y solo una de encontrart” – is a Venezuelan illustrator based in Italy. Clean, defined, essential, sometimes even childish, his illustrations depict an universe full of surreal dreams and vivid nightmares that trigger our thoughts and move our feelings, with naive lines in which it might be easy finding fragments of ourselves. When words don’t exist, there’s nothing left to do except trying to communicate through metaphors, as poets teach us, or with drawings, as children do. Or, as Fernando does, we can do it through metaphorical illustrations.
