Virginie Cognet

A self-taught artist, Virginie Cognet began her career as a fashion stylist, then as an art director, before moving into illustration and gouache painting. She has built up an easily recognizable artistic identity and regularly collaborates with publishers. Her colorful, poetic style is imbued with a naive lightness. Her illustrations are inspired by the simple things in her daily life: plants, cats, flowers and books… Her paintings, imbued with freedom, are meant to be a remedy against melancholy. She exhibited at Artazart in spring 2022.
