Do Opposites Attract?
Since last year, I’ve been dreaming of publishing this collection, a mischievous Cupid doing what he loves most: bringing opposites together.
In this series, I chose three different pairings:
a contrast in personality,
a difference in colour,
and a connection that can be friendship or love.
Each illustration celebrates the beautiful truth that love doesn’t look for sameness, it finds magic in differences.
I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I enjoyed creating them. This is not a collection made just for Valentine’s Day. It speaks about love in its most universal form — because love can happen at any time.
Stay open… you might just fall in love with your opposite.

About Me
Hi there—I'm Maria, a photographer, illustrator, and graphic designer with a profound love for all things visual.
My passions span children's book illustrations, street photography, fine art and watercolours. With a background in fine art, where drawing was my favorite subject, I strive to create illustrations that bring joy and make people feel valued. I especially enjoy crafting custom-made illustrations that resonate personally with each client.
