Natalie Shilo’s illustrations peek right into a freeform world teeming with colour and jubilation. Swaying back and forth, sitting in bliss, or rocking a guitar solo, every character exudes a zest for all times and thrives within the artist’s imaginative and energetic environments.
Initially from Belarus and now based mostly in Warsaw, Shilo lauds the artwork scene of her new residence. “The turning level was the transfer,” she says. “My complete setting has modified. Poland has a wealthy historical past of artwork, and I actually really feel it. All this extremely impressed me. I felt a push ahead, and my fashion started to develop.”
Shilo works principally digitally, beginning with sketches and steadily constructing stable shapes which are natural and geometric. Drawn with a pastel-like high quality, the illustrations layer stippled, halftone, or airbrushed textures into densely patterned compositions. “I’m continuously looking for the proper mixture of shapes, colours, and textures,” she provides.
