Hello, I’m Karina
A freelance illustrator creating detailed and expressive artwork inspired by travel, architecture, nature, culture and everyday beauty.
I work with clients internationally, creating illustrations for brands, publishers, authors and private clients — from illustrated maps and architectural scenes to book covers, postcards, botanical artwork and custom creative projects.
what i do
My work focuses on illustrated maps, architectural and travel illustration, book cover artwork, botanical and food illustration and custom projects.
I create artwork for clients who want illustrations with atmosphere, detail and a strong sense of place — whether it’s a map for a travel brand, a book cover for an author, a venue portrait for a wedding project, or a custom illustration for a product, publication or personal story.
Approach
My process combines research, observation and thoughtful composition. I begin each project by understanding the idea, references, mood and final purpose of the illustration.
I pay close attention to detail, balance, color and atmosphere — creating artwork that feels carefully crafted, visually engaging and clear in communication.
From the first sketch to the final files, I aim to make the collaboration process smooth, structured and enjoyable for every client.
Experience
I’ve worked with clients across Europe, the US and internationally, creating illustrations for a wide range of projects — from editorial features to custom maps and branded visuals.
My work has been featured on Behance and used in both digital and print formats.
Inspiration
I’m inspired by places, architecture, nature, books, travel memories and small everyday details that often go unnoticed.
Through illustration, I try to capture not only how a place or object looks, but also the feeling it carries — its mood, character, light, rhythm and story.
Let’s Work Together!
I’m always open to new creative collaborations — including illustrated maps, travel and architectural artwork, book cover illustration, wedding venue artwork, postcards, packaging illustrations and custom commissions.
Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to discuss a project or create something meaningful together.
