Sol Cotti brings the diversity of the everyday to life in her colourful illustrations

A commercial and editorial illustrator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sol Cotti likes to tell fresh and visual stories using a bold, simple and loose style, with relaxed lines and a touch of texture.

Inspired by strong women, gender, diversity and everyday situations, she's known for her character development, and lifestyle and culinary illustrations.

While you might not have heard of her, you've probably seen her work. She's been commissioned by everyone from titles such as the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, the LA Times and the Financial Times, to organisations like the United Nations, the Louvre and the Guggenheim.

And with such approachable and relaxed style, which is beautifully distinctive without ever being overbearing, we can see exactly why.
