Digital & Hand-Painted Illustrations
Diving into the story, I create a new world using my imagination and it’s something I absolutely love. While working with an author, instead of overshadow the story with my own style, I try to establish close collaboration and understand how an author sees the story to develop the unique style for each project. My most important goal is to be the voice of the authors and empower them to visualize the story in a way they want to do it. That is why in my portfolio you can find such a wide range of styles. My dominant medium is watercolor, but it did not prevent me to excel in digital art.
