A men, his crew and an ocean of ice cracking around them. 

Shackleton and his attempt to cross the South Pole, an amazing adventure of bravery and exploration.

The Endurance

​

Is it possible to cross an Ocean on a wooden-raft?

That's what Thor and his companions are about to discover.

A story of sea and foreign lands.

Kon Tiki

​

These are concertina books, first realized during my MA in children's book illustration, meant for kids between 6-10 y.o.

​

My aim was to share my burning passion about adventurers and explorers with small kids in a simple, funny way, cutting off big chunk of text and therefore living more space for the images to talk instead. 

​

These two projects were my first attempts to Monoprint, especially the Kon Tiki, and therefore they are very dear to me.

However, since both stories share a completely different atmosphere I decided to use two different approach.

​

The Kon tiki is about the sea and warm lands so I wanted to have bright and  saturated colors. Realized with mono print, pencils and collage.

​

The Endurance is about ice and cold, stormy and rough sea so I figured muted colors would have suited best the purpose. 

Realized with pencils, acrylics, oil pastel and collage.
