Italian-born, Berlin-based illustrator Vanessa Branchi makes bold and graphic illustrations that have a modern edge to them. Collaborating with the likes of Google, Siemens, and The Telegraph, her artwork stands out in the crowd, but it took Branchi a while to establish a clear artistic voice.
“Over recent years my visual identity has evolved a lot,” she told Inky Goodness. “It’s been a very interesting and fun journey even if sometimes the direction I was taking wasn’t always clear… even to myself. The change of location, from Florence to such a big city as London and then Berlin, exposed me to meeting artists and having more access to art in general than I had before. This really helped me to express myself and be able to experiment with the message I wanted to convey. “
“With time I decided to slowly ‘abandon’ the graphic design world and learn to develop my own visual identity,” she went on to explain. “Gradually, and with a lot of practice, I moved from a more hand-drawn and rough style to a more harmonic and clean one, where my execution of shapes and lines became more refined, getting closer and closer to the visual style I had set out to achieve. At the same time the color palette that I’m currently adopting emerged naturally.”
