Hi! I'm Karin Galvis, an aquarist by vocation and illustrator by passion.
I specialize in illustrations for all kinds of children's products: textiles, stationery, books,
greetings cards, and more. This passion led me to create my brand of children's
pajamas and beachwear, printed with my designs and whimsical patterns.
I find inspiration in the simplest and most magical details: working in an aquarium,
a true oasis in the city, spending time with my nieces, enjoying their tenderness, their
creativity and their laughter. I'm so inspired by strolling through tree-lined streets and
flower-filled parks, reading, visiting the sea, and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
If you're looking for illustrations with heart, sweetness, and a touch of magic for your
children's products, I'd love to connect with you.
Get to know me
Tea or coffee?
Coffee!
Movies or books?
Books—when I was a child I loved visiting reading rooms; I was quite the bookworm.
The sea or the mountains?
I love seeing and hearing the sea, but my connection to the mountains is magical.
Your favorite season?
Although I live in a tropical country, I adore spring and autumn, and I also enjoy winter a little.
If you weren't an illustrator, what would you be?
I once asked myself that very same question and the answer came straight from the heart: a goldsmith or a woodworker.
Your favorite color?
Blue! Without a doubt. One of my favorite palettes must include blue and orange.
What kind of illustration would you never do?
I would never illustrate anything offensive, racist, or gory.
Are you bilingual?
No, my native language is Spanish. I’m not an English speaker, though I do find it easy to write in English and can understand texts easily. I enjoy reading books in English, Portuguese, and Italian.
