Hi, I’m Ana Solarte — a children’s book illustrator and visual artist from Colombia. I’ve spent more than a decade creating warm, expressive illustrations that invite young readers into imaginative and emotional worlds. I’m also a mother of two, and much of my inspiration comes from observing children’s curiosity, tenderness, and everyday adventures.

​

Working with me is easy and collaborative. I like to begin by understanding your story, your characters, and the feelings you want your readers to experience. From there, we explore ideas together until we find the visual language that brings your book to life. You can expect thoughtful storytelling, strong composition, and a sensitive use of color that makes each page memorable.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve illustrated for publishers, authors, and creative teams from Bogotá to Singapore. My background also includes art teaching, workshop design, doll making, and art direction — roles that have strengthened my ability to connect emotionally with audiences and build worlds that feel alive and relatable.

​

I’d love to hear about your project and help you tell a story that young readers will carry with them.
