Hi! I’m Jamila, an artist, illustrator and graphic designer originally from Lugano, the sunny side of Switzerland with beautiful nature.
☼
I specialize in watercolor illustrations that capture the beauty and emotion of everyday moments. Whether it’s a fleeting expression, a stunning sunset, or architectural details, I bring these moments to life with feeling and character.
I find inspiration from traveling, urban sketching, and connecting with people. My work seeks to capture the extraordinary in the everyday moments of life.
Let’s work together to create something personal, unique, and meaningful—whether it's a custom commission, live painting, or a creative project.
Let's bring your vision to life!
Do you want to work with me? Get in touch! :-)
