Have you ever been so mesmerized by someone's art that it takes your breath away completely? Now I know that I have been shocked and stunned by so many in my life, but only a few could actually send my heart a flutter and bewitch me entirely speechless. Nicoletta Ceccoli's art is without a doubt among one of them.
Fishing Room
Bloody Mary
Olympia
When I first saw her work, I must admit that I just couldn't stop staring. Somehow they all looked so surreal yet so vivid that I was convinced she must really live in all of her dream like images. In a way, her art seems to go beyond all human fantasy and I'm always in awe at how perfectly she captures her flawless imagination.
Tower
Lollipop Land
Evidently Goldfish
As an award winning illustrator, Nicoletta Ceccoli has illustrated over 30 books since the year 1995, among many of them actually published by some of the most well known publishers throughout the world. Not a surprising fact, considering she's one of the most accomplished illustrators of this era. Other than that, she also creates and exhibits her fine art pieces across the globe which have been beautifully published in a book. To me personally, she's simply a celebrity artist of her own kind.
Well? Are you as mesmerized as I am? :)
If you're curious to see more of her work, here are a couple of links where you can see them:
And believe me, they are just as bewitching as the snippets you have seen in this post...
Have an inspiring week ahead, everyone!

I love all of the illustrations, but there is something about "Lollipop Land" that just draws me in!
ReplyDeleteHer use of soft color and edges is amazing...even when there is a bright color mixed in, it is softened so perfectly as to not stand out.
WOW!
And that isn't even beginning to describe the feeling.....
XXOO~~
