The self-taught artist
has worked for hire since
2008, which for the past
five years has mainly been
in the games industry, a
field in which she also teaches.
“I’ve varied my style a lot in my
career, fitting to briefings or target
groups, and it never bothered me until
recently,” Nadia says. “Last year I felt
the need to find my own home and
decorate it. So I started a search for a
visual language that can describe how
I see the world.
“I’m still searching for my voice,
or for the story that I want to tell. I’ve
already found my personal guide,
though. It seems to be humour.”
Nadia is influenced by artists
whose illustrations are windows into
their inner world, such as the surreal
power of Sergey Kolesov and the
gentle elegance of Adam Tan.

5TH ELEMENT “This illustration was

done for a fan-based artbook, which

was successfully funded on Kickstarter.

I wanted to try out a new mix of styles.”

PATHFINDER “I was more than

happy when Paizo commissioned

me for half-orc characters, especially as

they were women warriors. I’m weirdly

attracted to this combination and had

a lot of fun doing those. I grew fond of

this lady in particular.”

JINX “I started drawing in the

manga style and even though

I tend to be far away from it nowadays,

sometimes I like to go back and visit

this old friend of mine. Especially when

doing fan art like this.”
