Overview
Hi! I’m a professional illustrator painting digitally for book covers, children’s books, and games. I’ve had the joy of working with publishers like HarperCollins, Scholastic, Heinemann, Ravensburger, and Capstone, while collaborating remotely from my base in Thessaloniki, Greece. I draw inspiration from late Renaissance and modern painting, comics, and animation, which makes my work versatile across genres. I’m especially excited by fantasy, history, humor, science, and urban fantasy — though I love a good challenge outside those, too.
For me, illustration isn’t just work — it’s a way to step into new worlds, explore characters and emotions, and bring stories to life with color and atmosphere. My style blends the warmth and vibrancy of cartoon storytelling with the depth and structure of realism — a mix that’s ideal for projects looking for both emotional impact and visual sophistication. Rumor has it that I’m friendly, adaptable, and easy to work with, so whether you need a creative partner for a long-term collaboration or a single powerful piece of art, I'm here to bring enthusiasm, speed, and artistry to every project!
