- Why did you create this work?
Lockdown blues turned to vibrant hues in my still lifes, celebrating delight amidst adversity. Nostalgic and resilient, these pieces aim to envelop viewers in warmth, reminding them of nature's beauty and the power of a positive outlook in tough times. - How were your illustrations used?
My decor illustrations, exploring a fresh color style, adorned various interiors. They were used in home decor magazines, art prints, and as joyful, colorful accents in living spaces, bringing new life and a unique aesthetic to everyday environments. - What materials and techniques did you use?
Utilizing Procreate, my series harnesses simple shapes and vivid colors, opting for layer overlay modes to amplify chromatic diversity in everyday still lifes. With a dash of whimsy and retro charm, they beckon viewers into a relaxed, sketch-like world that’s both nostalgic and playfully interactive. - Was this project commissioned?
