Estée Preda’s Artwork is Simply Wonderful

As a child, Estée Preda loved Hans Christian Andersen and The Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Now, she creates art that looks like fairytales. “The world that her art exists in lies somewhere between those ephemeral seasons, night terrors and folk tales,” reads Preda’s website.

“I’m from Québec City, Canada,” said the illustrator in an interview with Ball Pit Magazine. “It’s a magical little city built on a hill and circled by a fortress. When I turned 18, I left my hometown to travel to film snowboarding. After spending about 8 years on the road working on various snowboard related video projects, I decided I had accomplished what I set out to do and so I traded in my camera for brushes.”

“Everything inspires me, from my environment, to friends, to memories,” she added. “My brain is like a net for catching ideas. Once one gets caught in there, it goes through a machine that transforms that idea into an illustration.”

Her whimsical creations were featured in notable publications that include The Globe and Mail, La Maison Simons, Flow Magazine, and Society6.
