ABOUT

Sophia den Breems (1990) lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands.

She graduated as a graphic designer, but works mostly as an illustrator. Finding the balance between those worlds, she’s exploring different boundaries to make her illustrations useful in two- and three-dimensional ways.

The somewhat chaotic images often consist of many little stories, inspired by human life, social structures and taboes.
