Hi there!
I am Kick Stals, a young illustrator from the Netherlands.
I am fascinated by the beautiful and the dark things in life. My inspiration comes from the weird and fantastical in all kinds of media like books, movies, games and music. I connect these interests to the everyday things like nature, architecture, people and animals.
My prefered medium to work with is with ink on paper, and to finalize an illustration digitally.
In 2026 I successfully finished my Master in Visual Arts, with specialization in Illustration, at LUCA School of Arts in Ghent (BE), with my project 'The Reality of Fantasy'. The year before, in 2025, I finished the Bachelor Visual Arts, with specialization in Illustration, here as well. A study I started in 2023.
In 2022 I graduated from the Bachelor Illustrated & Animated Storytelling at St.Joost School of Art & Design in Breda (NL) with my project 'Be aware'. I proudly presented 'Be aware' at multiple expositions and events like the DutchDesignWeek in Eindhoven, ARTY PARTY in the Melkweg Amsterdam, BUT-FilmFestival in Breda and Klimaatfestival 040 in Eindhoven.
I am looking forward to everything that is to come.
