New Signed Artist - Valentina Toro Aug 22 2018

The third illustrator to join Advocate Art is the very talented and creative Valentina Toro! Valentina's monochrome look combined with her finely detailed pencil-like drawings makes her the perfect line art illustrator within Children's Publishing, especially for readers 5 Years to Young Adult. If you'd like to see more of Valentina's work, check out her online portfolio. You can learn more about Valentina by reading her short biography below:

"I was born in Medellín, Colombia. My father is a great illustrator and perhaps the best teacher I’ve ever had. I grew up watching him draw beautiful animals and characters, and that’s the reason I decided to become an illustrator too. I studied Graphic Design, and then I got a Creative Writing degree, because I wanted to create stories that I could write and illustrate myself. I started publishing my own books in 2013 and since then I haven’t stop making stories for children. 

I love picture books, especially the classics. I find them very inspiring and profound. I’ve illustrated a lot of different picture books, and children’s literature has given me the opportunity to collaborate with very talented writers from other countries."

Valentina Toro was founded by our team of fabulous illustration agents based at our UK and USA agencies. If you think Valentina, or any of our other artists, would be suitable for an upcoming project you have, be sure to reach out to one of our agents!
