Florencia’s Fairy Tales

Florencia’s Fairy Tales (illustrator, Phosphor Art, publishing, Publishing Jobs)

Florencia Rigiroli, who is represented by Phosphor, has been working on a fully illustrated book inspired by classic fairy tales, reinterpreted through a contemporary and symbolic visual language.

Florencia’s Fairy Tales (illustrator, Phosphor Art, publishing, Publishing Jobs)

Romper el Hechizo, which translates to Break the Spell, explores the heroine’s journey across different stories, weaving together themes of transformation, inner strength and emotional growth. Classic fairy tales such as Cinderella and The Little Mermaid are reimagined by Graciela Caprarulo and illustrated in Florencia's signature style.

Florencia worked with FERA Design on the books. The visual development involved a comprehensive creative process, from early concept sketches and character exploration to color palette definition and final compositions. Each scene was carefully designed to build a cohesive universe, blending narrative storytelling with rich, ornamental details and a strong botanical influence.

Florencia's illustrations aim to evoke a timeless, magical atmosphere while maintaining a personal and expressive approach. Texture, colour and composition play a key role in guiding the reader’s emotional experience, creating immersive environments that support the narrative.
The project includes cover design, full spreads and a visual identity for the book, developed with attention to both artistic quality and editorial functionality.

“I’ve been an illustrator for God knows how long, and dabbled as an advertising Art Director before a planned escape," says Darren. "My illustration career has been quite varied over the years, all starting with drawing on my parents' wallpaper using lipstick and eyeliner, and then winning the Sugar Puffs colouring-in competition when I was 5. Nothing could quite compete with that, until I was commissioned to design prints for fashion designer Michiko Koshino in 1999, which led to illustrating for most of the leading magazines in the UK, and many different styled advertising campaigns for companies such as Coca-Cola, MSN, Vodafone, Orange, The Body Shop, and British Gas."

"The thing I love about being an illustrator," continues Darren, "is the variety of people I can work with, which always pushes my style in new directions, allowing me to explore areas that help me constantly evolve and potentially win the next Sugar Puffs colouring-in competition".

Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the composition weaves together references to Black Rock City, kink culture, sensory play and the natural world, alongside nods to iconic works including Francisco de Goya's La Maja Desnuda. Much like Bosch's celebrated triptych, the piece rewards close inspection, with interconnected scenes and hidden details gradually revealing themselves.
