An illustrator from France named Cosmo has caught our eyes with her detailed, vibrant artwork, which, a lot of the time, features women in various beautiful settings accompanied by sarcastic messages.

Cosmo has shared that her work is a mix of very different genres. "The clear line I use to draw is directly inspired from comics, mostly French/Belgian ones but sometimes American too. The way I represent women is very inspired by painting, mostly pre-Raphaelite and neo-classical ones. I have strong and bold color schemes, lots of anachronisms, and often sarcasm."

So let's hop into the post, and let us know what you think of this type of artwork!

In a further interview with Bored Panda, Cosmo shared a bit more about herself.

“I come from Etretat, a small town near the sea in Normandy, France. I used to work in fashion and jazz, and I’ve been an illustrator for over 6 years now.”

    We were curious to learn what initially drew Cosmo to the world of artistry. The artist responded: “Both my parents are creatives, although none of them can draw. I was lucky enough to grow up with people who took me to museums, bought me books, had me discover music, comics… they nurtured the interest I had in drawing from the very beginning and opened me to artistry in general.”

    That's a tough choice. Not. Books, my one true love - my cat is my queen, don't get confused.

    As for the creative process, Cosmo commented: “Lol! That’s the question I never know how to answer. I’ve always been admirative, if not fascinated by people who know exactly what they’re going to draw and how. The ones that can do a rough of the final drawing. I could never do that, I think it has happened to me 5 five times in as many years to have a precise idea of my composition for an illustration.

    Truth is, I know what elements I want, what message I want to convey, and then my hand and brain embark on a journey.”

    Cosmo shared what she hopes for audiences to take away from her artwork.

    “Laughter, joy, an escape. But also questions and reflections about our society. Sarcasm is a big part of my work. I think drawing for me is a wonderful outlet, but I also like that it can be one for others. I like creating images that you can both just appreciate on the surface, or really dive into and ignite a reflection.”
