China Shanghai International Children's Book Fair
2021 Key Visual
(Shanghai)
Illustration | Francesco Giustozzi
This is my latest work that I’m really proud of.
It’s a big honour for me to be the artist in charge of the new CCBF 2021 Key Visual.
This means a lot for me and my work as illustrator and I’m happy to know my weird and funny characters finally landed on Chinese ground.
I hope people will appreciate it and children have fun with them!
Thank you so much to all the CCBF staff, Carolina Ballester and Boiler Corporation, very kind, professional and enthusiastic people.

To blow a wind of optimism over 2021, I have decided to submerge you a joyful and whimsical universe overflowing with surprises. This cheerful artwork invites you into a visual search for its most incredible and surreal characters, reminding us of a world where aspirations and creativity are unconstrained.
In this new visual universe, the profusion of elements collides with the use of rich colours and sustained sense of humour. An alluring parrot sailing on a rainbow, a dung beetle wearing chic boots and a cupcake hat, a cracked egg basking in the sun… I really hope these will never fail to induce a smile on your face.

«I like to say that there are two different souls in me. One geometrical, architectural, minimal, black and white, and another one, which is the perfect opposite, colourful, cheerful, whimsical, playful and slightly psychedelic. I embrace both things, one completes the other, and I need them both.»
