Marina Aizen

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I graduated from the University of Arts with a BFA in Engraving. After finishing art school, I realised that I was interested in the interaction between text and images (which, as an engraver, I have always found fascinating,) and also the possibility of drawing a lot. I find that illustrating combines all my interests and I feel lucky to be able to do it!
I love creating sweet characters, full of fun and bright colors. I draw every day whether it is on my studio, the train, bus or underground - I always carry a little notebook to doodle when inspiration strikes. When I am not drawing I like watching birds and nature; embroidering or doing needle felting; cooking; singing and listening to beautiful music and exhibiting my work with my fellow illustrators.
