About me:

Hiya! I’m Karla Radanovic, a Croatian artist and illustrator with a background in Printmaking and Teaching from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. My illustrations cover subjects from animals and portraits to intricate botanical themes, inspired by nature’s shapes, colors, and rhythms. Storytelling fuels my creativity, drawing from movies, books, and comics to craft dynamic, imaginative work.

Growing up surrounded by forest, I developed a love for nature’s mystery and detail, which continues to shape my artistic vision. Influenced by fantasy comic art, vintage fairy tales, and rich fantasy culture, my style combines fine lines and delicate textures to create immersive, storytelling-driven compositions. I explore symbolic, mysterious realms where the fantastical and real intertwine.

As I grow as an artist, I’m excited to build a fully realized fantastical universe filled with hidden creatures, enchanted landscapes, and intricate lore. I can’t wait to share what’s next!
