Hello!
I'm Sivan Buntova, a Ukrainian-born freelance illustrator based in Israel. I grew up in Kazakhstan and Ukraine before settling in Israel, where I have lived for many years.
In Ukraine, I studied Fine Art and Decorative Art at Kyiv University of Construction and Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture. In Israel, I graduated from the Graphic Design-Visual Communication Department of WIZO Haifa Academy of Design and Education.
I’ve illustrated a few children’s and adult books. From 2018 to 2022, I illustrated for the French online literary magazine "Onuphrius."
Also, I've created illustrations for the National Institute for Testing & Evaluation (Israel).
I regularly participate in group art and illustration exhibitions.
I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and the Israel Association of Illustrators.
