Hello hello and welcome to my illustration world!

​

​I am Cristina Frei, a dreamy freelance illustrator based in Valencia, Spain,​spreading love through art for over eight years.

​

I was born in Chișinău, Moldova, my heart’s city. I grew up in Romania, where I studied arts from high school and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Design and a Master’s Degree in Visual Arts (Graphics) at the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca.

 

One of my first projects was a personal one, my "365 project", drawing daily for a year. It will always be my soul project, because it truly helped to discover and shape my style of simple, beautiful lines, often showing gentle women with closed eyes and cute cheeks, sharing deep emotions.

I love black and white and am now in a blue phase with touches of red, inspired by Valencia’s sea and sun.

My inspiration flows from feelings, nature, love, playlists, and life’s simple joys, gently reminding us to care for ourselves and find beauty every day.

 

My work includes advertising, editorial, label, book illustrations, and storefront illustration.

(I especially love drawing on windows, walls, or big spaces.)

​

I have collaborated with clients like:

Epson, OTOTO stores, Liliac Winery, Carturesti, Regina Maria, Editura Nemira, Sourdough Explained, Liniște Candles, Poetica, Yay Films, One Night Gallery, Roots Urban Tastery, Monogram Chania (Greece), Mug Stories, Humans Social House.

 

My illustrated books until now are:

• "Să nu-ți fie teamă" by Raluca Țincă (poetry)

• " Alfred cu pete albe și doamna cu pete roz" by Alexandra Crăciun (Children’s book)

• "Zâna Năsturel" by Florina Chirvase (Blending story and journal for kids)

• "Dantelă vs Chimio 1-0" by Agatha Peptea (biography).

 

I am available for worldwide projects, digital or physical. Want to create something wonderful together? Email me at contact@cristinafrei.com.

 

P.S. If you are in Valencia with a cozy café place or shop, I would love to make your windows special.

​

Art in person is my joy!

 

Thank you for visiting and being here! I wish you a super duper day !

Sending a bit of my dear Valencian sun!
