✦ About the artist

Hi, I'm Zeynep

I make illustrations that feel like a warm hug — bold colours, wobbly lines, and faces full of feeling. My work lives somewhere between a children's book and a gallery wall: it's meant to be looked at every day and to make you smile every time.

I'm based in Wrocław, a city full of colour and quiet corners that somehow always find their way into my work. Everything I make starts as a feeling and ends up as a story only a picture can tell.
