Hello there, I'm Miriam Serafin, a whimsical illustrator residing in the enchanting city of Venice, nestled right in the lagoon. My art is a delightful blend of atmospheric charm and playful details, crafted with a mix of digital wizardry using Procreate and Photoshop, and a touch of traditional textures. With a deep passion for character design, I infuse each illustration with a sprinkle of magic, inviting viewers to uncover hidden treasures within my work.

My journey as an artist has been sprinkled with accolades, including recognition at esteemed events like the Premio Strega Ragazzi and the “Artefici del nostro tempo” competition. Embracing my love for spooky atmospheres and playful twists, I take immense pride in my creation, "Frankenstina, monstrously perfect," a series of books that captivate children and young adults alike with its blend of humor and darkness. Always open to feedback and fueled by creativity, I bring my expressive characters to life through dynamic perspectives (and with impressive punctuality and speed of delivery), ensuring each piece tells a vivid story.

Drawing inspiration from childhood favorites like Beatrix Potter and Quentin Blake, as well as the mystical allure of nature, I weave enchantment into every stroke of my illustrations. Whether immersed in the serene beauty of the outdoors or cozied up at home with tea, biscuits, and my beloved dog Hecate, I channel these moments into my art to create a world where magic thrives. Ultimately, my dream is to be known as an illustrator who unveils the wonders of imagination, leaving a trail of enchantment in the hearts of all who wander through my whimsical creations.
