About

I am a free-lance illustrator based in Bucharest. I like to do book covers and editorial drawings, but my main passion stays drawing children’s books. I am always experimenting new techniques; I like to “get my hands dirty” using anything from gouache to linocut or coloured pencils, and to use Photoshop to set the final composition right.
 
Drawing has always been for me a way of translating and understanding the world. It became in time a precious communication tool and my favorite way of telling stories.
