I'm Elena, and I am trying to discover myself as a person in every way, in particular I want to explore all facets of the world of design and illustration. Illustration is a passion I have recently discovered and which I am also exploring through self-taught courses. The satisfaction of drawing the world of children is priceless and a great responsibility.
