I’m in love with nature and colours, and I love creating sustainably made illustrations and uniquely designed products to help make the world a better place.
I graduated in Advertising and Public Relations, specializing afterwards in illustration and graphic design at my masters.
I’ve been improving my skills over time in a self-taught way; I can’t help it, I’m a curious woman.
I approach the work on branding projects in a friendly and personal way, applying my knowledge of illustration and design to create a unique visual identity.
In my ArtStudio I offer you watercolour illustrations made in a traditional way on paper, as well as digital graphic design/illustration for your brand, your printing projects or advertising ones. Also you can count on me to create unique artwork for special occasions.
Every so often I create products with a unique design and limited units; apparel, stationery, accessories and sustainable fashion; made in a way that respects the environment and also offsetting the carbon footprint in manufacturing and shipping.
In addition, you can also order a totally personalized illustration to make a unique gift, for yourself or for your favorite person.
I work in a traditional way, making watercolor and ink illustrations on paper, with the possibility of scanning them later in high quality for digital use or art prints.
Why don’t I switch to the digital world 100%? Because I love the life that colour has on paper and the unique and natural texture it achieves; I think it helps to express the feeling of the drawing even more.

I never thought I had a style as an illustrator until recently, when I reviewed my work and saw that nature, travel and the inner search for oneself were recurring in my work. Mountains, water, forests … define a large part of my work. My color palette is based on blue and earth tones, with hints of deep greens and washed-out reds. Organic and natural colors.
I am inspired by movies and music, tea and coffee conversations in which everything and nothing are discussed. I also find inspiration during walks in the open air with hiking boots, during my trips to distant lands (or not so far) or in a weekend short walk around the city parks.
My work, and my life in general, are based on three VALUES that I consider fundamental:
Awesome! The first step is as easy as writing me an email at hi@arantzabelmonte.com and tell me what your ideas are.
You just have to give me the details, I will do my best to make it come true.
Y juntos estaremos creando algo increíble a la vez que cuidamos del medio ambiente.
