Malgorzata Detner is a Poland-based illustrator, born in 1989. She currently lives with her family, a cocker spaniel, snails, and two lovely rats in Warsaw. Her love of drawing appeared at a young age, influenced by her mother's paintings, but grew serious when she decided to follow art in middle school. Although Malgorzata initially followed a career in costume design with an interest in Victorian dresses, her daughter’s birth made her return to traditional painting and digital illustration. She is influenced by old animation, and mysterious, fantastic worlds; animals; and creatures in vibrant colors are what she likes drawing the most. She draws digitally, but also likes to incorporate hand-painted textures in her work. Malgorzata loves creating illustrations that remind her of childhood memories. In her free time, she makes needle-felted toys and enjoys watching her favorite movies, including Studio Ghibli's Totoro.
