Teo Georgiev
Hi! I am Teo Georgiev, a Bulgarian illustrator, designer and artist based in Helsinki, Finland. I have a BA in Graphic Design from Coventry University (UK) and an MA in Visual Narrative at Aalto University (Finland), where I explored the intersection of comics and migration studies.
From children’s books to editorial illustrations to branding, I draw playful characters, surreal stories and whimsical environments, which I then intertwine with inspiration collected from nature, culture and history. My style is a combination of naïve shapes, organic forms and bold colours.
