HOi!

My name is Pilar Contreras and I am an illustrator and bookseller based in the city of Bern, Switzerland.

I illustrate stories for magazines, comics and books, as also create art for prints like cards, postcards, posters and album covers amoung others.

I am graduated as a Visual communication Designer from the Javeriana University of Cali (Colombia) and also as a Master in Animation in the University of applied Science of Lucerne, Switzerland.

If you would like to share with me an idea or project you have, or just want to say hi, do not hesitate to write me to the the following email: pilarcontrerasvergel@gmail.com

I will be looking forward to hear from you and get to know you!
