My name is Maria Sofragiu [ sofräʤiu ], I am a Romanian visual artist and illustrator based in Rotherham, UK. I specialize in 2D digital illustrations and character design, but you can hire me for anything from window painting to running creative workshops to logo and brand design.
Sketching and practicing art has been my one constant since I was 10 years old. In any environment I find myself in, a piece of paper and a pencil is all I need to be able to focus, to relax, to express emotion and to create.
I started out as a traditional visual artist, using pencils, watercolor, charcoal, acrylics and oils to create my original pieces and to deliver commissioned work. Nowadays, I work in Adobe Photoshop using my XP-Pen display tablet.
I enjoy spending time in nature, observing the tiny details of life that otherwise go unnoticed. I get inspired by different mythologies, legends and deities and love to listen to folk norse music.
