Rain outside, warmth inside. 🍂

 

A little blanket fort, a favourite book and a furry friend nearby. Nothing more is needed.

Sometimes, the sweetest moments are the simplest ones.

Coralis and the Mushroom Keeper

 Coralis is a young flower fairy. Tavina is a tiny woodland creature and the keeper of the forest mushrooms.

When Coralis wanders away from the fairy village and loses her way in the heart of the forest, she meets Tavina. Before long, a very special friendship begins.

Tavina teaches Coralis how to care for the mushrooms, how to protect them from the wind and the storm, and how to listen to the quiet magic of the forest.

In return, Coralis teaches Tavina how to dance gently among the flowers without letting a single dewdrop fall.

A story about friendship, kindness, and the small wonders hidden in nature.

Kito and the Sun Flute

 

The characters and illustrations are from my personal project, "Kito and the Sun Flute." It's a story that I wrote myself, and with all the commitments and deadlines I have these days, I honestly don't even know when the illustrations will be finished!

Still, it's a project that I created with a great deal of love, passion, and enthusiasm. My hope is that, if I one day publish it, readers will feel the same joy and emotion that I felt while writing it. 😊

 

Smile for The Camera

 

These illustrations were created for the children’s book Smile for the Camera, published by Kalimat Publishing.

The story follows a young boy and his grandfather as they wander through the vibrant streets of Sharjah, capturing the city through the lens of a camera. Along the way, the boy photographs iconic landmarks and meaningful places, turning their walk into a journey of discovery.

Through this visual narrative, young readers are invited to explore the beauty of Sharjah — its architecture, cultural heritage, and rich traditions — while experiencing the special bond between generations.

THE BEST PORTRAIT ARTIST IN DECEMBER 2025

 I took part in the INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION “THE BEST PORTRAIT ARTIST IN DECEMBER 2025”. The competition featured two themes:

Theme 1: Writers Mihai Eminescu and/or Ion Luca Caragiale
Theme 2: Great writers of the world

For the first theme, I created a portrait of Mihai Eminescu, and for the second, I chose Charles Dickens. In both artworks, I combined visual elements inspired by their most famous works with a portrait of the author in the process of writing: Luceafarul for Eminescu and Oliver Twist for Dickens.

I’m delighted to share that my portrait of Mihai Eminescu was awarded the Grand Prize of the competition!

A Magical Christmas Adventure Is on Its Way – The Other Father Christmas

 November 6th marks the publication of my new book, The Other Father Christmas!

A beautiful and adventurous 304-page festive novel written by Serena Holly, the pen name of award-winning authors Jasmine Richards and Priscilla Mante, and published by Storymix Books.

I’m beyond happy to have been part of this wonderful project and so excited to finally see it come to life!

In my opinion, this is a must-have for every home library — and the perfect Christmas gift for everyone!
