Viktoria Åström

Children’s Book Illustrator

Welcome!

I’m an author, illustrator, and storyteller with a love for detail. With a background in 2D animation, I enjoy creating expressive characters and richly detailed worlds. My illustrations are playful and full of humor, and the more you look, the more little discoveries you’ll find.

About Me

London Parakeets walking across the road
Viktoria Åström - Viktoria Astrom - black and white portrait

Art has always been at the center of my life, ever since I could hold a crayon and decorate the bedroom walls. Creating is my meditation, and I’m always dreaming up the next project. If you’d like to work together, I bring imagination, detail, and heart to every illustration. For inquiries, feel free to contact my agent, Angharad Kowal Stannus.
