My illustrations are the way I choose to show myself to the world. This is how I translate what my soul wants to say.

Amalia Restrepo

Colombian illustrator Amalia Restrepo studied architecture before coming to the realisation that illustration was her true calling. She has a master’s degree in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Amalia especially enjoys illustrating for children. Strong women are recurring theme throughout her work, as are lush plants and playful animals. Her powerful female protagonists are her flagship for gender equality. She describes her designs as "Simple and fun illustrations that carry messages around the world".
