I’m Roza Elias, a Brazil-based children’s book illustrator focused on picture books, visual storytelling, and character-driven narratives. I create imaginative worlds through digital illustration, traditional watercolor, and black ink, drawing inspiration from nature, fantasy, and the expressive gestures of everyday life.

I welcome remote illustration collaborations with publishers, art directors, independent authors, and creative teams. I work with clear milestones, thoughtful communication, and an organized process across time zones. I’m also open to conversations with literary agents interested in representing my illustration work.

My services include picture-book illustration, character design, cover art, spot illustrations, editorial illustration, and visual development for children’s projects.
Alongside my illustration work, I’m developing a personal picture-book project inspired by a childhood memory of the cake my grandmother used to make for us. Music, singing, and dance are also part of my creative practice, shaping my sense of rhythm, movement, and page turns.
