Portrait of…

Ella Cohen

Ella is originally from Israel and graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem in 2010. Since then she has been working as a freelance illustrator on different world-wide commissions, and is now living and working in Berlin.

Creating graphic and bold illustrations in both traditional and digital media, Ella’s illustrations are playful and moving. Her observations of everyday life are a great inspiration for her, and her personality-filled illustrations communicate the best, worst, and most absurd of situations.

Ella is represented by Folio Illustration Agency in the UK, and you can see more of her commercial work on their website.
