Alejandro Colucci – Designer

I'm an Award-Winning Illustrator and Book Cover Artist focused on fantasy, horror, dystopian fiction, and historical subjects.

Since 2003 I created well over one thousand illustrations -mainly for book covers- commissioned by major Publishers around the globe for authors such as Anne Rice, Robin Hobb, Joe Abercrombie, Isaac Asimov, Mario Puzo, H.G. Wells, Ursula K. Le Guin, Andrzej Sapkowski, William Gibson, Steven Erikson, Robert Louis Stevenson, and J.G. Ballard, to name just a few.

In recent years I've been working on illustrated books such as the classic gothic novella by Robert Louis Stevenson: "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" and several tales by Edgar Allan Poe, Sheridan Le Fanu, and Théophile Gautier. And especially on the illustrated and deluxe edition of A. Sapkowski's "The Witcher".

In 2021 I illustrated a special new edition of Joe Abercrombie's "The Blade Itself".

In 2022 I fully illustrated the classic "The Worm Ouroboros" by E. R. Eddison, a new edition to be published soon.

Also, I worked on a couple of Assassin's Creed book covers.

In 2023 I've been working on a very special project: Frankenstein. A truly classic of gothic literature, by Mary Shelley. New illustrated edition.

Quotes:

"Alejandro's powerful illustrations are the finest. I am proud that he has done several book covers for my novels. He is a true artist."

Anne Rice

"I love them. I think they are the best and most beautiful illustrations that have ever appeared in any of my books, whatever the language and country have been published"

Andrzej Sapkowski

Best-selling Author of the "Geralt of Rivia" series: "The Witcher".

​

“Over the years, I’ve been privileged to see my characters portrayed by many fine artists, from Michael Whelan to John Howe. Alejandro has joined that esteemed group. A master of expression and detail, his visions of my characters look ready to step off the page.”

Robin Hobb

Best-selling Author of "The Realm of the Elderlings" series.

"Alejandro was truly fantastic. He clearly takes great pride in his craft and has tremendous talent. He tackled this project with passion and enthusiasm and was a great communicator and listener. I could not have chosen a better illustrator to work with for this novel."
