CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in editorial illustration began around 10 years ago, after I’ve been working with publishing houses for a while. I started creating some new illustrations for my portfolio and ended up creating some covers and internal illustrations for a traveling magazine. What I love most about editorial illustration is that I need to focus on the content to create an image that can capture the reader right away, passing the message. It is a great exercise and I love the challenge! For me, the two most important qualities of a successful editorial illustration are composition and colors.
