Irish illustrator, photographer, and designer Ania Lenihan creates art that feels like poetry brought to life, delicate yet powerful. Her illustrator portfolio showcases fine lines and soft, vibrant colours that explore the harmony between nature and femininity. Each piece captures fleeting moments of serenity, as if a dream had been gently pressed onto paper.
Based in Ireland, Ania brings a multidisciplinary perspective to her creative practice. After studying design in the Netherlands and Poland, she has built a career that bridges visual storytelling and design craftsmanship. From painting and illustration to print design and prepress, Ania’s work reflects a balance between creative intuition and technical precision.
Her day-to-day creative work involves designing books, researching images, editing photography, and preparing artwork for print, blending artistry with production expertise. Alongside her commercial work, Ania continues to pursue personal projects in portrait photography and painting, inspired by her fascination with human expression and emotion.
At Confluence: Where Arts Meet, part of ImageNation Paris 2025, Ania’s ethereal illustrations take centre stage. Her art embodies the exhibition’s theme, a meeting point between disciplines and perspectives, inviting viewers to reconnect with emotion and intuition.
If you’re building your own illustrator portfolio website or looking for inspiration for your next artist portfolio, Ania’s creative journey is a beautiful example of how art and design can coexist harmoniously.
