I’m Daniela Frongia, an illustrator and visual artist whose practice spans narrative illustration and hyperrealistic airbrush fine-art illustration.
With over 14 years of professional experience, I work across children’s publishing, character-driven illustration and fine-art imagery, with a strong focus on emotion, composition and visual storytelling.
My children’s illustration work has been recognised by the Hiii Illustration Awards and published in Be Artist (Oracom Editions) and Dessin d’Anatomie, with upcoming publication in Character Design Quarterly (CDQ) in 2026.
My hyperrealistic, hand-drawn airbrush illustrations have been published and exhibited internationally, including Airbrush Step by Step, the FIIN Nature Drawing Exhibition in Portugal, and Sketch for Survival, where my work was selected for the Highly Commended Collection.
I collaborate with authors, publishers and creative teams internationally.
