Coco Apunnguaq Lynge
Coco Apunnguaq Lynge is a multidisciplinary artist; working within graphic design, character concept art, fashion design, book illustration and art exhibition.
Born in Greenland and raised in Denmark, Coco grew up longing for her Greenlandic roots.
This longing often expresses itself through her personal work, where she explores her heritage.
She is a graduate of The Animation Workshop in Denmark, and has also studied multimedia design and fashion design.
Her illustrations are printed in several books published across Denmark, Greenland, Iceland, France and Canada. She has worked on several AAA games as a character artist and illustrated for board games.
Coco's work has also been published on stamps in Greenland and in 2023 her art submission to Juullip Nipitittagaa was published as the 50th and last Christmas stamp in Greenland.
