Karlotta Freier, a talented illustrator based in Brooklyn, brings her characters to life in a world filled with emotion and surreal narratives. Her illustrations often depict scenes of intrigue and mystery, with hidden figures and subtle details that draw the viewer in.

Whether it’s a small person riding on the back of a giant primate or a giant white cat sleeping among colorful blooms, her use of scale adds depth and intrigue to her compositions.
Many of Freier’s illustrations have been featured in prestigious publications such as The New Yorker and The New York Times.
