My name is Mariangela Mata, i'm from Venezuela. I have been passionate about art since childhood, and my love for illustration and creating characters that come to life on the page has driven me to become a professional in the field. I graduated from the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas and studied Character Design at CGMA, specializing in character design. As an artist, I find inspiration from everyday life, nature, and the world around me. I believe that every character has a unique story to tell, and it is my job as an illustrator to bring that story to life through my work. Whether it's through graphic design or picture book illustrations, I believe that art has the power to inspire, educate, and connect people from all over the world. I hope that my work will continue to inspire and bring joy to those who see it.
