We are thrilled to announce two new artists to the Pickled ink portfolio! Welcome Sònia Albert and Gosia Herba, we are excited to have so much talent joining us and two very distinct styles.
Sònia is an illustrator from Mataró, a Mediterranean city near Barcelona. After several years working in a comic studio she moved to the UK to attend the Children’s Book Illustration MA course at Cambridge School of Art, graduating in 2020. Her artwork was shortlisted for the Sebastian Walker Prize awarded at the graduates private view show every year.
Sònia works predominantly in traditional pencil, colouring her drawings in digitally and combining them with print-making textures. Her atmospheric illustrations have an expressive line, endearing characters and a strong sense of place.
Also a keen writer, Sònia has several illustrated graphic novel and picture book ideas that she is currently developing. Her clients include Bromera and Algar edicions.

Gosia specialized in jewellery-making at the National School of Fine Arts in Poland. She went on to study Art History at university, focusing on the history of illustration which informed her choice to become an illustrator. For over a decade she has worked with advertising, editorial and publishing clients all over the world but recently her interests have shifted towards children's books. Her first picture book, Elephant on the Moon, was written by her husband, Mikołaj Pasiński, and published by Centrala in 2016.
Gosia’s illustrations feature stylish characters and a bold, often limited, colour palette. She has a playful sense of design which brings joy to her work, yet she also creates images which are contemplative and still, encouraging you to linger on them and get lost in the moment.
Her clients include: Quarto Group, Google, The Washington Post, Penguin Random House, Monocle, and Vanity Fair.
