Sofia Bonati’s illustrated portraits feel like conversations you want to stay in a little longer. Based in the UK, the artist creates character driven illustrations that are stylish, intimate, and subtly playful, capturing not just how someone looks, but how they might feel.

Bodies exist in awkward proportions that resist normality.
