A collection of illustrations depicting childhood as a realm of imagination and wonder. Boys and girls flying among clouds and stars, turning into snails under the rain or birds carrying books; small everyday gestures that transform into magical and surprising scenes.
The style, created in mixed digital technique (watercolor and markers), conveys freshness, tenderness, and a touch of humor that connects with both children and adults. Each image suggests a story, opens the door to fantasy, and turns the mundane into the extraordinary.
✨ Illustrated childhoods in mixed digital technique (watercolor and markers), where the everyday transforms into magic and each gesture opens the door to imagination.
