About Me
Hi, I’m Simona
I create gentle digital illustrations for children’s books, character design, covers, and story-led projects.
A note from the studio
“A small world can begin with one character, one light, and one quiet moment.”
The illustrator behind Simbrush
My work is inspired by animals, nature, cozy places, and small moments that carry emotion. I like building characters and visual worlds that feel warm, curious, and ready to become part of a story.
Based in Slovakia, I’m available for children’s book illustration, book cover concepts, character design, and story-led collaboration.

How I work
A children’s book needs more than one finished picture. A character has to work from the side, from the back, in different emotions, and in motion. Only then can the world feel believable.
I think about silhouette, expression, color, atmosphere, and the little details a child can remember. The work is prepared for print and online use.
I enjoy projects where illustration helps shape the feeling of a story, not just decorate it.
