From the eye level of the child
Marisol Misenta, widely known as Isol, is an Argentinian picture book artist, cartoonist, graphic artist, author, singer and composer. Her style is expressive and at times explosive, using a sophisticated technique of double outlines and deliberate print misregistration where the lines and colours are not completely aligned.
