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 based in Barcelona, where I bring my passion for art to life by crafting unique and meaningful visual stories. For me, illustration is not just a profession—it’s the art of building new worlds, where each character has a voice, and every color carries a melody.

I specialize in blending simplicity with depth, using metaphors to create illustrations that resonate both visually and conceptually. Every project—whether it’s a picture book, a book cover, or editorial artwork—is a new adventure, an opportunity to explore fresh visual solutions and capture the soul of the story.

With over 9 years of professional experience, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with publishing houses, brands, and creative teams on diverse projects. While I work across various genres, my greatest passion lies in picture books, where I can immerse myself in storytelling through art.

Let’s work together to bring your vision to life and create something truly magical!
