I am Eva Margon Štanta, a creator working in the fields of illustration, design, and animation. I completed my Master’s degree in Illustration at ALUO in Ljubljana in 2019, and further developed my practice during a study exchange at the Minerva Academy in Groningen, the Netherlands. Alongside book illustration, I work extensively in scientific illustration, popular science illustration and natural history illustration. Complementing this, I explore and experiment with reduction linocut techniques in my print studio. When the opportunity arises, I transform illustrations into short animated sequences. I most enjoy weaving animal and plant motifs into my projects.
