I’m Inma Hortas, an independent full-time freelance illustrator.
Thanks a lot for being here!

🖤

I’m based in Spain (Galicia-Madrid), happily working remotely for the entire world. Multiple time zones: No borders!

My illustrations are engaging and communicative, both evocative and playful. My style is graphic, vibrant, resounding and meticulous, using primarily voluptuous shapes and whimsical elements. I’m specially inspired by human emotions, women’s strength, lgbtqia+ rights and minorities’ realities, mental health, gender and identity issues, everyday life stories, both intimacy and current affairs… Always #bodypositivity #loveislove🌈 #diversity #everyoneisawesome.

Representation definitely matters to me, and I firmly believe that we all deserve love (especially self-love), respect, and joy. So my goal is to capture all those abstract positive feelings in my illustrations, with fun and affection at the same time, and spread the message around the world ❤️💛💚💙💜

PS: I worked for ten+ years as a full-time corporate AD and designer before shifting my career to freelance illustration during the pandemic. You can stalk me on LINKEDIN and check my current practice on INSTAGRAM.
