About

Hello! I am an illustrator from Rome.
I draw relentlessly. My favourite technique is watercolours with coloured pencils for their vibrancy, and I’m in love with soft pastels and charcoal for their expressiveness and immediacy. But I also work with ink, collage, marzipan, Murano glass… any medium that allows me to create!

I’m especially confident with sketches, where my lines bring a lot of energy. I easily capture the subtle nuances of relatable emotions and express movement and interactions well. Personifying animals is my forte.

I was born in Belgrade, Serbia, where I graduated in Painting and Mosaics. Afterwards, I won a specialisation scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
I gradually moved from painting toward illustration.
I attended courses on picture book illustration, by Claire Alexander and the Quentin Blake Centre and with Helen Stephens and The Good Ship Illustration.

If you would like to work with me, please feel free to reach out. I am always open to collaborating with creative people: info@dunjapopin.com
