I’m Chantal Horeis — an illustrator and muralist based near Stockholm, Sweden. I’m happiest when I’m drawing and painting scenes filled with nature, flowers, people, and quiet bits of everyday magic.

My work has found its way into books, video games, and advertising projects, but at its heart, it’s always about warmth and connection. I love the feeling of home, or the hush of a forest at dusk. Through my art, I hope to share a sense of calm wonder and remind people of the beauty in small things.

previous clients include: Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, Adobe, Procreate, Candlewick Press

"Kindling" and "Renewal" came to life during fall of last year. While nature was slowly retreating into hybernation for the dark winter here in Sweden, it seemed natural to morn spring and summer. I often tend to forget the magic
She’s here, but not entirely. “Elsewhere” Ink and graphite on paper, 10 × 10 cm. I kept this one minimal and soft to let the dark flowing hair and scattered freckles carry the feeling. It is a small portrait about driftin
