Tosca creates funky feminist illustrations and animations: Eyecandy with substance, she calls it! Her bold and colourful style reflects her vision of an inclusive society in which everyone can be who they want to be and do what they want to do, without harming others.

Viewers often comment that they feel empowered by her work, as it feels like looking in the mirror. The graphic characters inspire you to speak up about what you stand for while finding the courage to stand out in any way you want to. It’s a quality that has been noticed by many clients, most notably Amnesty International, with which Tosca has worked many times over the last couple of years.

Besides working as an illustrator, animator, muralist and participating in the occasional art market , Tosca currently teaches the 4th year illustration and animation students at the art academy AKV|St. Joost, the same academy where she studied illustration before graduating from her master’s in animation in 2018.

Tosca shares a studio with friends in her hometown Breda, located in the south of The Netherlands. Her perfect day consists of visiting museums with friends, watching (historical drama) movies, eating fries, going to her heels dance class, and dog-walking dachshund Toetje (meaning ‘dessert’ in Dutch).

Tosca is currently working on her portfolio.
