ALEJANDRA SALVATIERRA
Hello!
Hello, I'm Alejandra Salvatierra, a freelance illustrator and cartoonist.
While I was born in Bolivia, my formative years were spent in the artistic landscapes of Italy. I proudly graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and embarked on my creative journey.
I've lent my creative touch to a diverse array of projects, ranging from illustrating children's book covers and textbooks for Santillana, to collaborating with graphic design companies on commercial illustrations.
​
One of the aspects of illustration that resonates deeply with me is the craftsmanship involved in creating something unique and custom-made. This passion extends to my role as a university professor, where I share my experiences and knowledge with the next generation of artists.
​
In my free time, you'll find me tending to my urban garden and exploring the realm of self-sustainability by producing my own food. Nature serves as my constant muse, inspiring me to infuse my art with the beauty and simplicity found in the world around us.
