Oksana Drachkovska – Designer

A professional illustrator with 10 years experience creating vibrant, unique artwork ( children illustrations, book covers, editorial)

Overview

Hello! I'm an illustrator originally from Ukraine, now living in Barcelona, where my passion for art drives me to create unique visual experiences. For me, illustration is more than just a profession – it's the creation of new worlds, where every character tells a story, and each color sings its own melody.

I love weaving metaphors into my work, making my illustrations both visually simple and conceptually deep. Every book or cover design is a new adventure for me, and I approach each project as an opportunity to discover fresh visual solutions that capture the essence of the story.

I have over 7 years of professional experience, during which I’ve collaborated with publishing houses, companies, and pursued my personal creative projects. While I work with a wide variety of genres, my true passion lies in picture books, where I can fully explore my love for storytelling through art.

Let’s create something magical together!
