Inner beauty is like a secret garden in which the best version of you makes flowers bloom 🖤🌿 #illustration_daily #botanicalillustration

Almost 5 years ago I came to London to study an MA at @goldsmithsuol but little did I know about the journey I had embarked myself in. At that time everything was unclear and my career made no sense, however after many detours and nerdy adventures, I eventually found the courage to be the entrepreneur I was meant to become. In my instagram you mostly see an artist’s work but behind my drawings and designs there is a journey full of contemplative moments, turning points, lesso...ns in humility and kindness, friendships that lighten up everyday, anxiety problems, countryside daydreams, tones of books, a sentimental journal, dreams becoming true, dark alleys, incondicional support, wisdom from mentors...
All of these things are constantly shaping and challenging me in, but I am glad I choose to set my own rules and evolve at a rhythm in which in I am constantly learning. 📸 by @picurphoto_london • • • • • #femaleentrepreneur #fempreneurs #illustratorlife #artist_sharing #reflectingonlife #mycreativelife

Orange tree 🍊🧡#botanicalillustration - (I am a bit obsessed with this theme lately)

SPRING IS HERE and I am missing the blooming jacarandas at home 😫 - These are beautiful Mexican trees that truly transform spaces when their flowers come out and suddenly there is a fragrant purple rain taking over the city. Seriously search “Jacarandas in Mexico” and you’ll feel like buying a plane ticket ✈️💜 #botanicalillustration #jacarandatrees

Antoine de Saint Exupéry is popularly known as the poetic man who wrote #thelittleprince but he was also a great engineer, pilot and visual artist. This is someone who reminds me of my grandfather and my golden childhood which was full of imaginary adventures and wonderful stories.
I think it’s important to have people, books, objects, memories that remind us about innocence and imagination because in between what is said in this quote and the Little Prince ideas about an ide...al world there is no big difference. In the end creative perfection is achieved when a person’s heart has been poured and refilled by an idea that reflects the best of their personality.
At least that’s my opinion and I love how this quote says a lot about creative passion, mad creativity and heartfelt surrender🖤

Making patterns is a really fun thing to do as an illustrator 🖤 This one was left out of a #botanicalart bundle. Should I uploaded it to Creative Market? 🛍✨ If you are reading this and you are a designer / illustrator, what do you do with extra unwanted bits? 🤔 #illustratorlife #designerproblems

One of the cutest & most touching scenes I have illustrated for @thinkequal and @nermin934
This #childrensbook is called “The Shape of Peace” and there is nothing as poetic or sweet, as the story of these two friends seeking to be reunited in the aftermath of the Civil War in Bosnia & Herzegovina 🕊✨
I am really fortunate to have such special projects ... #happyvalentinesday❤️

I am really glad January is coming to an end because I’ve been mostly working on admin stuff. However there are a couple of cool projects coming up 👾✨ While I prep them, here is a photo of novel that kept me reading like a maniac over last week 📖⚡️: Travesuras de La Niña mala by #mariovargasllosa a 2010 Nobel prize novel that is super funny and steamy 😈- I am really sad that it’s over but I has happily surprised to be given gorgeous #fabrianopaper samples in exchange for old brushes!! #perksofbeinganartist
