About

Visual artist

I am Teresa Arroyo Corcobado, a Spanish illustrator and visual artist. Since an early age, I have always felt the need to move away from my small city of birth in order to explore new places. I have lived in Madrid, Edinburgh, Granada and Brussels, where I specialised in illustration and where I have lived for 8 years. Currently I am based in beautiful and inspiring Seville.

A foot in Belgium and another in Spain, I work as a freelance illustrator and my work has been selected in art competitions and exhibited in both countries and beyond.

On commission, I work mostly on editorial illustrations, children books, posters and textiles. But I also love working on self-initiated side-projects. 

For more information, commissions or just to say hello, please contact me at hello@teresaarroyocorcobado.com I would love to hear from you!

Artistic Workshops

I have been conducting artistic workshops for a long time now. I propose different kinds of workshops for children and adults adapted to all kinds of spaces and subjects (learning the basics of illustration, developing narrative and graphic abilities, and exploring the relationship between text and image in a picture-book, experimenting with the different techniques…)

Sometimes the workshops are held at my workplace, but I also conduct them at schools, artistic and cultural associations, libraries or even outdoors.
