Oona Himanen
Hi there! I am an illustrator, graphic designer and visual artist from Espoo. If you live in Finland, you might know my work from postage stamps which I designed and illustrated for Posti. In addition, I have illustrated magazines, book covers and made pictures for advertisements. You can even find my illustrations of a bird or a squirrel on the side of a drinking bottles.
I create my illustrations digitally but always aim for a hand-drawn impression. My style combines realism and painterly textures. I love illustrating portraits and nature subjects.
So if you want to illustrate a point, draw a line – drop me a note. Would be great to hear about your project!
Storytelling and creating an atmosphere are my specialty. This can be seen especially in my journalistic illustrations.
