about me

Hi! I'm Fela Walvisch, an artist and illustrator based in Haarlem, The Netherlands. In 2022 I graduated in Fine Art at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam. Right after graduation, I had the honor of showcasing my work in a solo exhibition at the Verwey Museum Haarlem, marking the start of my professional journey .

I’m inspired by vintage magazines, an eclectic range of music, the women around me, and feminist art and literature. I work quickly and love to experiment with other media such as photography and video. My style can be described as loose and playful, with a fearless approach to provocative themes. At the moment I mostly design posters for music venues and illustrate for socials, websites and print publications. Besides that, one of my more unconventional offerings is drawing portraits of boobies at parties and events. Discover more about this unique service here.

I dream of designing a wine bottle label, creating an album cover, and one day I hope to illustrate a children’s book. If you share these passions or have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you!
