Hello! My name is Larissa Reis, I am 30 years old, and I am from São Paulo, Brazil.

I hold a degree in Architecture and Urbanism and spent the first six years of my career working in this field, where I developed strong skills in design, creativity, and attention to detail. Like many artists who have been drawing since childhood, I was always the child who loved creating worlds on paper. In 2022, I decided to turn my passion into my profession and fully dedicate myself to the world of illustration, which has always been an intrinsic part of who I am.

Today, I am an illustrator represented by Pyro Represents, and I have had the privilege of creating artwork for 15 books published in Spain, China, and Brazil. These projects have allowed me to explore a wide range of themes, including wild animals, dinosaurs, interactive stories, children’s tales, and educational books. My style is characterized by vibrant colors, charming characters, and expressive details that bring stories to life.

In my journey as an illustrator, my greatest goal is to continue growing, reaching audiences worldwide and inspiring children who love creativity. I am also committed to constantly improving my craft, exploring new techniques, and refining my style to bring even more beauty, emotion, and storytelling depth to my work.

I believe in the power of illustration to communicate emotions and convey meaningful messages, and this belief drives me to create unique and captivating visual stories.
