Raissa Oltmanns

Raissa Oltmanns is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Hamburg, Germany. It was during her design studies that she discovered a passion for illustration, experimenting with printmaking techniques that continue to shape her work today. Her style is marked by vibrant colour, bold statements and careful attention to detail, with inspiration drawn from nature and the animal world, from its shapes, structures and patterns.

Her background as a photographer has given her a strong affinity for faces, and people often sit at the centre of her work. Through her feminist art prints, Raissa challenges traditional representations of women, portraying strong, self-confident characters who embrace their feminine side as a mark of strength rather than contradiction.
