She/they - Why did you create this work?
This was the first illustration I created using Adobe Fresco. I wanted to digitally explore new forms of expression and brushwork developed in my painting practice. Inspired by the philosophical concept "as above, so below" referring to the union between celestial and terrestrial realms, this illustration explores a magical experience I had in the Swedish countryside in the summer. - How were your illustrations used?
