World Illustration Awards 2025 — Category Winner & AOI Interview

Honored to be named a Category Winner at the World Illustration Awards 2025, selected from over 5,000 entries worldwide, with an interview featured by AOI.

It is a great honor to be named a Category Winner at the World Illustration Awards 2025, presented by the Association of Illustrators (AOI) and the Directory of Illustration. Selected from over 5,000 entries across 84 countries, this recognition represents a significant milestone in my journey as an illustrator.

As part of this achievement, I was also interviewed by the AOI about my creative process, inspirations, and the story behind my winning project. The interview will be featured on their official platforms, offering insights into how the work was developed and what it means to me as a storyteller and visual artist.

In addition, my project will join the WIA2025 Touring Exhibition, opening at the Conningsby Gallery, London, on 3 November 2025, before travelling to further venues. This will be a unique chance to share the work with wider audiences and to connect with other illustrators and art lovers around the world.

I am deeply grateful to the judges, the AOI team, my mentors, peers, and everyone who has supported me along the way. This recognition reminds me of the power of illustration to carry stories across cultures and borders — and encourages me to continue exploring new possibilities.
