I’m Zoé Kovács, an illustrator and comic artist from Hungary, based in Rotterdam. I spend my free time drawing, making up stories, solving sudoku puzzles and walking in nature. In my practice I enjoy storytelling, exploring the human soul, nature, researching through making and folk art. I find folk art compelling because the authorless, nameless works that constitute the bulk of this genre of art have the power to be extremely intimate and personal in their nature, but at the same time they’re able to achieve a universal relatability with their simplicity and rawness. I like to stick with a free-flowing, unpolished energy in my finished pieces.
