award · 2026-04-27

Graphic designer and illustrator Valentina Tamiazzo has won the ArtEcò competition organized by the Italian energy group Iren. The contest, launched months earlier, sought an artist to create a set of illustrations representing the group's values, challenges, and vision for 2030, aligned with its new Industrial Plan. Tamiazzo, a freelance professional since 2013, previously worked in educational agencies and collaborated on sustainability campaigns for schools. Her proposal was selected by a jury comprising Iren managers and external communication experts, who praised its originality, communicative effectiveness, and coherence with the company's coordinated image. The artist, originally from Padua, will now produce ten illustrations dedicated to the pillars of Iren's Industrial Plan, including territory, people, ecological transition, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Her style is contemporary, favoring curves and rounded lines to evoke transformation, and uses a limited palette drawn from the rainbow of the Iren logo. The illustrations will be used in the company's visual communication across its various offices and territories.
