Now, more than ever, is time to rethink our interior design. A beautiful home, after all, means a more pleasant experience overall, and how we divide our space may actually affect how we perceive our reality. These days, we’re taking notes from Russian interior designer, Dmitry Reutov. His original work revolves mainly around color stories, with his interiors transporting us to different universes altogether.

“When creating interiors, I always turn to nature, asking myself what it would look like in nature,” explained Reutov in an interview with Sixtysix Magazine. “Even when I look at plastic as a modern man-made material, I associate it with nature. I can relate transparent plastic to ice.”

Since 2007, Reutov runs his own architectural and construction company, with his studio conducting projects of varying complexity from residential interiors to business spaces. The studio then implements projects with its own team of builders.

His work takes him all over the world, from New York to Spain. “My schedule is tight, but it’s hard to describe a typical day,” he admits. “I don’t call it work. This is a process for me, a process I love. I’m solving problems. Seven days a week.”

Though not everyone can afford his services, there’s inspiration to be found in his work. His interiors prove that a bold choice of color makes all the difference between a boring living room and a space worth inhabiting. Take a look for yourself:

Illustrator Jade Purple Brown describes herself as a “color-obsessed visual artist.” And with a name that includes no less than three colors, the proof is clearly there. “My name was actually given to me by a friend who was trying to figure out my middle name,” she told Design Milk. “She jokingly guessed Purple since my first and last name already happen to be colors. I loved the way Jade Purple Brown sounded, so I decided to use it as my artist name.”

According to Brown, her name is a clear depiction of the work she does, which she describes as “colorful, strong, and unique.” Indeed, there’s an overall sense of confidence in her illustrated works. Centered around female characters, her subjects – fashionable and confident – look large and in charge.

Her color choices remind of the ’70s aesthetics – an era which also provides Brown with endless sources of inspiration. “I love collecting ’70s interior design books for inspiration,” she says. “The over-the-top colorful palettes, quirky motifs, and the overall carefree attitude of the ’70s excite me, and those are elements that I like to bring into my work.”

“I love creating designs and illustrations for brands that share a similar vision and purpose,” she adds. “It’s the best feeling when brands specifically come to me for my personal style and push me to pump out my very best work.” Based in New York, her work has drawn clients as big as Apple, Facebook, Sephora, and Google. You’d want to follow her work yourself.

Tonight’s the night! 8pm on @skyartsartistoftheyear if you’ve been watching you might recognise my portrait from the main screen when it cuts to ads. I’ve not seen the episode yet and it’s been a while since we filmed it so it’s reignited the excitement I had taking part. I learnt a lot about myself and how much faith I’ve put in my work, my trust in believing my dreams. I’m a positive person, I go with my instincts a lot in life, I’m hopeful and an optimist. Some might say a lot of that was stripped away when mum left us, we filmed tonight’s heat the day before I found out we had days left, and she died just 8 short days later. The last proper conversation I had with her was about what I was doing, I couldn’t grasp how much she took in because it was hard for her to express many things in those last weeks and true real moments were blips. She did say she was proud, and I caught a photo of her with that proud smile on her face. It’s easy to lose the things you want when your world comes crashing down, it’s easy to lose your way, it’s easy to buckle and fall but it’s also ok. I’ve lost my way a million times, I’ve woken to find myself crying in my sleep and haven’t realised. I’ve sobbed myself to sleep and been in immense physical pain because that’s what grief is. You miss the one you love with all that they took with them and a part of that is some of yourself. They should be here with you sharing incredible life achievements, like courage, entering this competition was a big leap of faith, and courage. My point is there are new moments of courage and today mine is getting through the day, knowing you’re going to be sitting right next to me tonight proudly watching with me. I love you so much 💙✨ #livingwithgrief #grief #skyarts #skyartsportraitartistoftheyear

Her minimalistic style invites the viewer to engage with her artworks, filling in the absences rather than just dismissing the work and moving on. It’s this distinctive style that has brought her an abundance of commercial clients and individuals. Meanwhile, her more personal work can be found on her Instagram page as well as showcased at galleries and art events across London.

Based in London, Hussain’s artistic passion sparked early on, and she recalls spending hours sketching on the counter in her dad’s corner shop. But according to her biography, it was only since the birth of her first child that she decided to take her hobby more seriously. And so, she picked up the pencil once again, reclaiming her own identity amid the emotional blurrings of motherhood.

Her sources of inspiration vary and include anything from the patterns of home interiors to the natural shapes of the outdoors and the geometries of architecture. Working in several different media, and most usually at night, she is driven by experimentation, constantly exploring new techniques and searching for the shapes and subjects they express best. 

Take a look at some of her experimentations with the color blue.

Texas-based illustrator, Alexandria Canchola, captures everyday life in vivid colors. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in Government and Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA in 2D Design from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, her work (much like her background) is grounded in narrative.

“I love color, I love type, I love stories,” she summarized effectively in an interview with Ballpitmag. Through visual storytelling, her work explores universal and often unresolved themes that have preoccupied mankind since the very beginning. Her choice of color and composition serves to further enhance her visual messages.

“The aesthetic choices found in the illustration work: flat areas of color, simplification of forms and figures, a bold and vibrant color palette, and a playfulness with perspective,” says Canchola, adding that color is oftentimes used to document human experiences by connecting narrative and emotion.

“There’s something about each one of us that lends ourselves to a story,” she says. “My intent is to blur the distinctions between our perceptions of reality and our creations within it. The color palettes used to subvert the viewer’s idea of emotion; centering on themes such as loneliness, solitude, and voyeurism and showcasing these emotions in the bright powerful hues in which we feel them.” In other words: her work is meant to be explored – a visual universe that’s both messy and appealing, much like raw human emotion.

Emmanuelle Moureaux’s approach to architecture and the ways in which space can be divided is very much informed by color. “I want to give emotion through colors,” writes the French architect on her website, “whether it is architecture or an art piece.”

Through her work, she hopes people can see, touch, and feel colors, using their senses. “The overflowing effects of colors in space will show that colors can give more than a space, but a space with additional layers of human emotion,” she explains.

Moureaux’s use of color is unique, treating colors as three-dimensional elements, much like layers, that create and divide spaces, rather than finishing touches applied on surfaces later on.

Her unique approach was inspired by a week-long trip she made to Tokyo as an architectural student, which according to her gave her “the passion for colors.” “It was the flow of staggering colors pervading the street that built a complex depth and density, creating three-dimensional layers in the city of Tokyo,” she writes. “I felt a lot of emotions seeing all these colors, and in that very moment, I decided to move to this city.”

Now based in Tokyo, Moureaux’s architectural designs are based on the layers and colors of Tokyo that provide a complex depth and density, as well as the Japanese traditional spatial elements like sliding screens. She calls this approach “shikiri,” a word that literally means “to divide space using colors.”

How to describe Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski’s art? The edge of the rainbow, a childhood fantasy, a bit of this and that… Using materials that might be classed as femme, foolish, and disposable, she mixes together sequins, mirrors, and beauty supplies to create delightful collages, prints, and paintings.

“In the lineage of drag and carnival, I re-claim these materials and let them take up space and ritual significance,” she explained in an interview with Art of Choice. Currently attending the Yale School of Art for an MFA in Painting and Printmaking, her work incorporates drawing, installation, and performance.

“For the past year I’ve centered light, mirror, and video as my primary materials,” she said. “My main exploration has been around how I can have flamboyant material objects produce the ephemeral lighting conditions under which that object is seen. Sequin refracts video content into illegible constellations, mirrors bend white light into rainbows.”

“Material experimentation is a big part of how I begin, and most of it doesn’t amount to anything I would want to show people,” she says. “But I’ve learned that I have to do it. A lot of listening to music and trying to make rainbows in the dark.”

If there was such thing as being color sick, we’re pretty sure it would result in something like Alycia Rainaud’s digital art. The graphic designer explores life’s many complexities through daily abstractions that are eye-popping, to say the least.

Titled as the Malavida project, Rainaud’s art is inspired by Jungian therapy and creative exercises and aims to raise emotional intelligence and mental health sensitivity. “My work always has this tangible to digital dynamic,” explained Rainaud in an interview with Ohh Deer.

Talking about the process itself she says: “I usually start by working with a mix of different types of paints, inks, and materials to create a base movement and vibe. In this step, I’m not bothering too much with the colors or displacements to look perfect. The second step is digitalizing the artwork through a scanner or a camera, and then moving on to my favorite part, post-production. This third step is all about movements enhancements and adding all these signature vibrant colors. To achieve this effect, I usually work with algorithms, 3D software such as Cinema 4D and of course Photoshop.”

“Being a graphic designer in the first place, I’ve also always been drawn to abstract and experiments in general,” she added. “As far as I remember, before creating Malavida, I started playing with textures and visual effects for my graphic design projects while I was in school. I truly wanted to, one day, be able to build my own identity, based on the things I like and the way I am as a person. This trippy yet dark vibe has always been a part of my life, so I guess that my style and designs had to convey these aspects, in order to stay as true to myself as possible.

Now, more than ever, is time to rethink our interior design. A beautiful home, after all, means a more pleasant experience overall, and how we divide our space may actually affect how we perceive our reality. These days, we’re taking notes from Russian interior designer, Dmitry Reutov. His original work revolves mainly around color stories, with his interiors transporting us to different universes altogether.

“When creating interiors, I always turn to nature, asking myself what it would look like in nature,” explained Reutov in an interview with Sixtysix Magazine. “Even when I look at plastic as a modern man-made material, I associate it with nature. I can relate transparent plastic to ice.”

Since 2007, Reutov runs his own architectural and construction company, with his studio conducting projects of varying complexity from residential interiors to business spaces. The studio then implements projects with its own team of builders.

His work takes him all over the world, from New York to Spain. “My schedule is tight, but it’s hard to describe a typical day,” he admits. “I don’t call it work. This is a process for me, a process I love. I’m solving problems. Seven days a week.”

Though not everyone can afford his services, there’s inspiration to be found in his work. His interiors prove that a bold choice of color makes all the difference between a boring living room and a space worth inhabiting. Take a look for yourself:

If there was such thing as being color sick, we’re pretty sure it would result in something like Alycia Rainaud’s digital art. The graphic designer explores life’s many complexities through daily abstractions that are eye-popping, to say the least.

Titled as the Malavida project, Rainaud’s art is inspired by Jungian therapy and creative exercises and aims to raise emotional intelligence and mental health sensitivity. “My work always has this tangible to digital dynamic,” explained Rainaud in an interview with Ohh Deer.

Talking about the process itself she says: “I usually start by working with a mix of different types of paints, inks, and materials to create a base movement and vibe. In this step, I’m not bothering too much with the colors or displacements to look perfect. The second step is digitalizing the artwork through a scanner or a camera, and then moving on to my favorite part, post-production. This third step is all about movements enhancements and adding all these signature vibrant colors. To achieve this effect, I usually work with algorithms, 3D software such as Cinema 4D and of course Photoshop.”

“Being a graphic designer in the first place, I’ve also always been drawn to abstract and experiments in general,” she added. “As far as I remember, before creating Malavida, I started playing with textures and visual effects for my graphic design projects while I was in school. I truly wanted to, one day, be able to build my own identity, based on the things I like and the way I am as a person. This trippy yet dark vibe has always been a part of my life, so I guess that my style and designs had to convey these aspects, in order to stay as true to myself as possible.
