Carlo Beranek is a freelance illustrator based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied animation at a creative college in Rotterdam, but soon discovered that his true passion was for illustration, particularly the creation of whimsical characters that bring people, children especially, joy. His work is bold, bright, and colorful, and often invested with strong messages that carry forward Carlo’s belief in art’s ability to entertain, educate, and inspire. If Carlo weren’t an illustrator, he would have been a chef. He loves reading, listening to music, and going to the cinema, and would jump at the chance to move to a big city like London or New York and adopt a dog.
