Her brand, Bride & Wolfe, is very much the embodiment of this notion. Known for her eye-popping designs, she produces vibrant objects and decorations inspired by art and popular culture. Those are meant to be hung as statement pieces, adding a playful edge to your otherwise mundane surroundings.

Launched in 2005, her brand specializes in limited edition, hand-finished home pieces paying particular attention to design and materials. Her designs include graphic art pieces made from mirror, enamel, and powder-coated steel, characterized by modern forms and a bold sense of color.

“I’m so visual, seeing colors and patterns whilst food shopping can be as inspiring as looking through art books or surfing the net,” admitted Moreira. “I’ve become more nostalgic since I’ve become a mum, and my childhood in St Kilda is hugely influential- panel vans, hot summers on the beach, icypoles and Oz rock!”

Her products are all designed in Australia and made in small quantities in collaboration with local Melbourne makers, which make for an extra fabulous (and oftentimes, truly unique) addition to your home.

Working full time as a graphic artist and illustrator, her energetic work hasn’t gone unnoticed, attracting global brands and publications alike. “I’m constantly in a different headspace and love to think three steps ahead, and usually the next project is the most exciting one,” she told Adobe’s online magazine. “When working with clients, I really like a good brief, but I also love to come up with new stuff and usually do a bunch of explorations using the tools and colors that I feel work best or will help that specific brand communicate better.”

But though her work is bold, she describes her real-life personality as “very chill.” “It probably has to do with the fact that I get bored easily and love to experiment, and I find art to be the perfect way of expressing myself,” admits Robescu.

Indeed, growing up in a family of artists, art was always regarded by Robescu as a means of self-expression. By the age of 12, she had her first group exhibition, so it comes as no surprise that by the time she became a grown-up, she spoke fluently in both languages of art and graphic design.

Centered around African men and women, her artwork explores questions of identity in a world that’s fast-paced and evolving. As such, her creations have a vitality to them that is further enhanced by the choices of bright, eye-popping colors. It’s a vitality that has caught the attention of brands as big as Adobe, Instagram, Tinder, and Refinery 29.

In an interview with African Digital Art, Durand described her artistic passion in religious terms, stating that art came as a revelation of sorts. “It started when I entered a pre-art school just after high school,” she recalled. “It was a revelation for me. In this place, I experimented all kinds of art drawings, paintings, sculpture, and product design.”

“I was studying in Paris which is the best place to study art; there are many museums, galleries, and events,” she went on to explain. “In school, I studied the history of art, I was fascinated by contemporary art.”

It was this fascination that pushed her to where she is today. Here are some highlights from her Instagram page.

“Color has always been a constant source of inspiration, as well as the unique space of a painting, as something that is flat, but has depth,” says the Brooklyn-based artist in an interview with Art of Choice. “That essential paradox has always been a great source of inspiration,” he says. “For me, the sublime and its shifting cultural definition has been a theme in my work, tangentially or directly, for many years. I often think of my current work as attempting to describe impossible sublime forms. Forms that seduce and reward; hopefully inviting the viewer to linger long enough to slowly tease out their logic.”

“Initially, I was working away from representation, taking images and source material and cropping them oddly, or slicing them into patterns,” he said, talking about his creative evolution. “Working through this process, I found that I was more interested in optical shape play than necessarily questioning the image. I also found a more personal voice in abstraction that was less burdened by theory. And so from there the paintings began to slowly evolve away from the image and towards abstraction.”

“By and large the images describe the natural world in some sense. Increasingly, I’ve been investigating color and light at night, nocturnes in a sense,” he says. Take a look at his exploration of shapes and colors:

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.

“I think that the idea is the center of my work,” says Marra in an interview with Illustrators’ Lounge. “If the original idea is good, if it can transmit something, then you can work on it in many ways. Never be trivial, try to find your own way to communicate something.”

Based in the south of Italy, Marra recalls exploring his creative side from a very young age. “I’ve always enjoyed drawing,” he said. “When I was a kid I used to copy the illustrations of Popeye and Donald Duck that I had on the VHS. My parents stimulated my passion for drawings. I wanted to be an animator, I always wanted to tell a story.”

After studying at an art-oriented high-school he went on to enroll at the School of Design in Vietri sul Mare, specializing in graphic design and illustration. “After school, I met Ilaria Grimaldi, an illustrator (who became my friend) and taught me a lot of things of the illustration world and suggested I stick with it, even if my education was more focused on graphic design,” he recalled.

Take a look at some of his awe-inspiring work:

With features in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Apartamento Magazine, and collaborations with giants like Fendi and the Guggenheim Museum – the sky is truly the limit for Zagnoli.

But talking about her artistic background, she’s relatively modest. “My path is probably very similar to that of many illustrators,” she told Freelance Wisdom.“You love to draw, you graduate from some sort of art school, you’re out and terrified, you’re desperate to find your own language, you sorta find it, you begin to work, your first works are terrible, you get better, you work more, one day you’re like ‘this is not too bad’ and you feel kind of happy for what you’ve done, then you’re lost again, two days later you’re happy again, you struggle to get paid, you finally get paid and you buy a nice pair of shoes.”

“One of the hardest parts was looking for a visual language,” she added. “I wasn’t looking for anything COOL back then but I was looking for something ‘me.’ A set of subjects, shapes, and colors that reflected who I was on the inside and made me feel comfortable. It wasn’t automatic but as soon as that started to take shape, more clients started to connect with my world and understand it.”

The Malaysia-born, San Francisco-based designer and illustrator gets his inspiration from walking, enjoying a good cappuccino, and having a fun conversation.

“Using Instagram as a canvas to display his works, Undo emphasizes today’s need for instant gratification,” reads his website. “Undo wants to use his works as a medium to arouse emotions in audiences, to connect with people, and to raise questions about true happiness in this information-polluted era.”

“I like to include the unhappy face in my work not only to create tension and contrast but also to remind others that life can be miserable sometimes,” admitted the artist. “It would be delusional if the works just showcased happy faces. We will definitely overlook true happiness if we do not embrace the opposite side of it. You need to go through the unhappy moments in your life to really unearth the meaning of happiness.”

Born and raised in London, she loves exploring the many ways that color, pattern, and words can change urban environments, her mantra being “make happy those who are near and those who are far will come.”

“I don’t like calling what I do a style,” she told Creative Boom. “I have an approach to my work that I have developed over many years in response to doing things I have not enjoyed and want to get more fulfillment from what I do.”

“When I am painting a large-scale project I will call on a team of painters who I have shown my way of painting and they are paid and come and help me in the studio,” she added. “I am very particular and disciplined with the painting as it is often very complex, like a massive jigsaw.”
