About me

I’m Cosima, an artist and illustrator in Zürich. I draw what fascinates me: old manuscripts, neon light and pixels. Out of that come pictures, stickers and whole game worlds. I like working best on projects that are allowed to be a little strange.

CAS in Visual Arts (ZHdK, top grade). Since 2021 I have run the Solinetz art studio in Zürich. Creative Lead on NECROMARCH (Steam, 2026).
