Hi, I’m Diego Pelizzoli, a painter and illustrator based in Bogotá, Colombia, working remotely with clients in the United States and around the world. I specialize in figurative portraiture through traditional techniques like oil, watercolor, and colored pencil, and I also create expressive traditional-style caricatures. I take commissions from photographs—whether it’s a realistic portrait, a home and architectural piece, a landscape, or something more conceptual like book cover art and editorial illustration. With more than 15 years of freelance experience, I love bringing personality and character to every commission, and I’m happy to share milestone progress updates through to final delivery.…Hi, I’m Diego Pelizzoli, a painter and illustrator based in Bogotá, Colombia, working remotely with clients in the United States and around the world.
