Hi, I'm Ilja!
I’m an illustrator based in Antwerp, Belgium. My work often starts from personal experiences and observations. I can endlessly watch the beautiful colors and shapes our world has to offer, and I love translating those impressions onto paper. I like working with a wide range of materials. Pencil, pastel, paint, and collage are among my favorites. Alongside drawing and painting, I also enjoy experimenting with textiles and photography, which allows me to explore and express ideas in different ways.
I studied at Sint Lucas Antwerp, where I first obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Illustration and, in 2025, graduated with a Master’s degree in Visual Arts.
