Preferred Pronoun?
She/Her
Why did you choose to enter this work?
When these posters were displayed on screens in NYC, many people messaged me to say they really loved them, which meant a lot to me. I believe this was a successful art series.
What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
The combination of fashion magazine vibes with the New York City view. Especially the girl in the Met, I designed her outfit and standing pose based on the painting "Mäda Primavesi" by Gustav Klimt.
Where do you usually work?
I have a small area in my living space that serves as my studio. Most of my work is created digitally, but I also use ink, pencils, and pastels, which don’t take up too much space.
What is your dream commission?
I enjoy commissions from fashion magazines and beauty brands because I love to draw people. I am also interested in illustrating children's books.
What’s your favourite thing to draw?
People appear in the majority of my illustrations. I like to tell stories about their emotions and inner worlds. I use simple lines to structure their poses and reveal their feelings through shapes.
