I’m Cinthia James,
a dedicated artist proficient in illustration, surface pattern design, and graphic design. Based in Berlin, my artistic journey draws inspiration from various sources, especially the dynamic worlds of fashion and music, with a special fondness for K-pop.
My art journey led me to create a unique artistic process, which I lovingly documented in my award-winning art book, "Treasure Found: An Art Journey."
My aesthetic style is characterized by a blend of playful sophistication and a vibrant color palette. I’m known for my portrait art with custom patterns.
I also offer book design, patterns for licensing and creative workshops.
