Hi, my name is Dalit Pessach, and I’m a freelance illustrator. Woking with watercolor and gouache I express my passion for delicacy.
I’ve been creating work for notable organizations such as The Weizmann Institute of Science, Leket Israel, Mandel Foundation, Aroma Espresso Bar Israel, alongside European lifestyle brands and magazines like Schaibles Boutique (Germany), Belongings (Israel), SlowLiving Hideaway (Italy) and many more.
I’m a romantic at heart, my inspiration comes from rooms that have been lived in and time-aged objects, poetry and literature, but above all, nature itself. Every falling leaf, every wild flower, call on me to tell their stories.
on a personal note
