Hello! I’m Sofía,

a Spanish illustrator and watercolour artist based in Valencia. I studied Fine Arts at UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València), and I also have a Masters Degree in Illustration and Graphic Design from the same university. I later studied a course in Art Direction at the University of the Arts London.

Books have always been a familiar space for me – I didn’t only read them as a child, I’ve also been illustrating what they said since I could first hold a pencil! My illustrations always have a touch of magic, but if you try to look even further you might see some hidden meanings… and perhaps, a hidden someone.

You can contact me at illustration@sofiaalcaide.com or through instagram, at @talesbysofia.
