AWARDS AND HONORABLE MENTIONS:
THE NORTHERN PRIZE 2021 : EMERGING ILLUSTRATOR AWARD JIA ILLUSTRATION AWARD 2021 : BRONZE AWARD
Hello, Nice to meet you!
My name is Julia Sarapata de Carvalho, and I am a children's book illustrator and designer from the enchanting city of Warsaw, Poland.
I conjure up magical worlds and whimsical images using both digital and traditional media, with a special fondness for my digital wand—Procreate on the iPad Pro.
When I’m not busy doodling dragons or painting pixies, I’m a full-time mom and a blissfully happy wife. I’m married to a Brazilian architect and CGI artist, which means our household is one part art studio, one part construction site, and all parts fun and chaos!
With years of experience as an illustrator, I have had the joy of working on a variety of projects, bringing enchanting stories to life for both self-publishing authors and established publishers. I've also dabbled in creating my own collections of art prints and posters, which made a splash at Poland's biggest poster fair, Targi Plakatu.
My inspirations are as wild and wonderful as the natural world, animals, the dance of light and shadows, and a sprinkle of magic. I aim to weave these elements into every illustration, creating stories brimming with mysteries, magic, and miracles that only our imaginations can unlock. Each book I work on is filled with intricate details and little surprises, making every page a new adventure for readers to discover.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the journey through my magical worlds!
Best wishes, Julia
