Neola en de Kinderrechten
‘Neola en de Kinderrechten' is my first work as a children's book illustrator. A project that I accepted with lots of passion and enthusiasm.
The stories my grandparents read to me growing up, the stories I read to my sister and the cheerful illustrations of picture books were all sources of inspiration during the creation of this book.
I hope my enthusiasm for the book is reflected in all the colorful and detailed illustrations!

Poster Kunstmarkt Noord XL
For their XL edition in march, I created a poster for the lovely people from Kunstmarkt Noord and Zamen. I frequently sell my prints at their market and I love the concept of making art affordable and accessible for everyone, so I had to go crazy on this one.
Poster Fuzz Event
In 2022, I was asked by the cool people from Fuzz to create an illustration based on their logo. I took their main ingredients: A cat, a rocket, lightning bolts and their logo, to create this fuzzy illustration.
The illustration was used for the poster of their event at Pip Den Haag

Neli - Awake
Boox Surpisebox is a webstore offering monthly surprise boxes filled with books and accessoires. I created their logo, webshop icons, social media posters, flyers and the monthly bookmarks shown below.
totaalBED
For their new headquarters, totaalBED asked me to make a painting for them. I decided to make a painting based on the story of how the four brothers who started totaalBED, began their journey.
Mixed Media Paintings
Whenever I work on my paintings, I love to experiment with different tools, materials and techniques. I love to play and mess around while creating, it makes me feel like a kid again.
I mostly combine acrylics, spraypaint, watercolor, oilpastels, charcoal, ink and clay to create artworks.
