Malin Widén draws inspiration for her work from traveling, drawing with children, and taking walks in the woods.

Editorial - January 25, 2019

Malin Widén completed her bachelor's degree in Illustration Fiction at the Lucerne School of Art and Design five years ago. Since then she has been working as a freelance illustrator and art educator. She has experience in editorial illustration, handlettering, pattern design, animation and toy design. Currently she is working on a picture book.

Widén's sources of inspiration for her work are traveling, drawing with children or walks in the forest. She describes her style as playful, light and colorful. Technically, she does not want to commit herself. Depending on the content, she works with drawing, collage or printing techniques. The illustrations are created analog, digital or a combination of both.
