I’m a freelance illustrator specializing in fantasy and science fiction, with a passion for creating striking and immersive visuals. Over the past year and a half, I’ve collaborated with publishing houses to design book covers across genres; from children’s literature and young adult fiction to thrillers and adult fantasy. My work combines strong storytelling with a cinematic and imaginative approach, aiming to spark curiosity and emotion in every piece. Whether through contemplative atmospheres, dynamic scenes, or poetic worlds, I strive to create illustrations that resonate deeply with audiences.
