Coco Dávez Colorful Approach to Art Is Infectious

Valeria Palmeiro, better known as Coco Dávez, is known for her colorful touch, exploring different fields, such as painting, photography, and art direction.

Her colorful universe keeps bringing about collaborations with brands such as Chanel, Shiseido, Desigual, Dior, Prada, Vogue, Samsung, New Balance, Kenzo, and Nespresso; and she has exhibited her work in cities like Paris, Queensland, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Madrid. She also published her first book last year, titled Faceless.

“My career began in 2010 when I started posting my artwork on Instagram,” she shared with Square Mile. “I was living in London at the time and was working for the Stockholm agenda; illustrating and photographing the London scene, covering events such as Fashion Week and designing street style illustrations. Thanks to the latter, I managed to secure an inaugural solo exhibition at the Pickpocket Gallery in Lisbon in 2011.”

“Simultaneously, I had started working as an illustrator for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo and moved to London. The Art Director of El Mundo, Rodrigo Sánchez, gave me my first collaborative opportunity. Since then, it’s been a meteoric whirlwind.”

“I’m self-taught and interested in all fields of art,” she went on to explain. “I’ve worked with many diverse clients on all kinds of projects as a photographer, art director, and a painter. I like to mix these mediums but ultimately, I would define myself as an artist.”
