About me
I am Tania Serra, a London-based artist and illustrator whose practice is rooted in mixed media and playful visual storytelling. With a background in architecture, design, and traditional animation, my work reflects a strong drawing foundation and a love for hand-crafted mark-making
My current work combines acrylic markers, oil and wax pencils, creating colourful compositions infused with warmth and gentle humour. My artworks often celebrate small, odd, and joyful moments of everyday life, inviting viewers to slow down, notice the details, and smile.
