With a strong belief that their creativity can help communicate important issues, the two graphic designers have also been involved in many educational projects. “It is exciting to research, collaborate, and to create programs that are challenging and that make the audience think,” said Cecile in an interview with The Association of Illustrators.

“Every time we meet a new group of students or professionals we have to analyze how we are doing things,” she adds. “What are our procedures? What is creativity? How do we run our studio? How do we get ideas across? Going through all these questions regularly helps us to make potential changes within our practice as well as discuss with others how they work. I always learn as much as I teach.”

With their skills complementing each other, the two have managed to carve a unique niche for themselves, creating anything from illustrations to installations and wall paintings, and attracting clients like Nissan, diet Pepsi, and The Guardian. Check their work out in the gallery below and follow them on Instagram for more.

Keeping that goal in mind, her art is very much the meaning of eye-popping. Her graphic illustrations rely on bold contrasts and dramatic color palettes, attracting clients like Fendi, the Guggenheim Museum, and even the New York subway system. “I always try to put my heart into my work and preserve my vision without compromising it,” says Zagnoli.

Born and raised in Milan, Zagnoli was surrounded by creative minds like her. “I started drawing at a young age; it was a good meditation for me,” she recalled. After graduating from Istituto Europeo di Design (the European Institute of Design), she had a stint in New York, which had quite an impact on her, career-wise.

“I only had a few contacts in the US and somehow, I got the email of Brian Rea, who was the art director for the New York Times’ Op-Ed at the time,” she says. “I emailed him, but was sure he wouldn’t respond. He gave me an appointment to come show him my portfolio and that’s how it started.”

Now, with more than 130k followers on Instagram, there’s no stopping her. Here are some creative ways she plays with color:

Her tangible compositions are made by either following the natural shapes of the materials she collects or by carefully snipping some odds and ends, creating that seemingly perfect geometric shape. Amongst these materials, you can find anything from vegetables and crackers to broken mirrors and old keys.

“As far as how I find materials to experiment with, it varies a lot,” she told Colossal. “I generally work with what I can find around the house, inside or out. It begins as a scavenger hunt of sorts, and then a challenge as I begin to build.” These materials are placed on pastel backgrounds in tidy shapes.

The finished product is a thing of tangible beauty. Take a look for yourself:

The result is something out of a childhood dream, that combines installations with paintings and sculptures. Her work has been exhibited all around the world, including in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Germany. “I’m interested in imagined worlds, places that only exist in stories or in our imagination,” said Schultz in an interview with Hot ‘N’ Gold magazine. “But I also find traveling super inspirational – going to new places, discovering traditional crafts, flea-markets, visual details, new people and their stories.”

“I’ve always been interested in color relationships – how colors react next to each other,” she added. “My work seems to have gotten more and more intensely colorful over time – vibrant and fluorescent colors that are quite psychedelic. Sometimes I step back and think… oh dear, what have I done!? So much color it could make you fall over.”

Brace yourself.
