Hi, I'm Eva Toorenent 

@evaboneva 


I'm a freelance illustrator and artist from the Netherlands, creating fantasy, surreal, and story-driven art inspired by folklore, nature, and imaginative realism.

After studying illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy, I started creating art full-time and later wrote and illustrated my book ' The Wonderful World of Eva' at Clavis Publishing. My work has been featured in several international galleries, publications, and projects with clients like Wacom, 3Dtotal, and US Games.

With my art and stories, I want to blur the lines between our world
and the other world.
