dbskAhhh... after three days of sleepless nights (
once again ><") from trying to finish my 2000 word essay - finally, one week of holiday to study for my upcoming university exams (aka
STUVAC)but lol, instead of studying like I should be, here I am blogging away. ^^ Yes indeed. I've been trying to catch up on sleep the whole day yesterday and I just had a four hour nap (yes, a nap =p) and yet, my eyes still seem to be pulsating quickly and I feel as though my eyes are going to explode any minute. It's horrid but that is not the point of this blog. lol!! xD I must say I have a good reason to blog. The reason is that I have been inspired by an amazing artist whom I would like to share with you all!! Perhaps you have heard of her or seen her artworks in advertisements, campaigns, clubs, cd covers or the gallery itself. Who is this she? Ahhh... let me introduce you to:
STINA PERRSON!!
Stina Perrson, an illustrator based in Stockholm, has studied and worked in New York, Florence, Tokyo, Lund and in her own country, Sweden. An artist who works with ink, acrylics, watercolour, photographs, gouache and paper - her designs have been sought after and used by some of the biggest companies such as Harper's Bazzaar, Coca Cola, Sony Music, DKNY, Face Boutique, Vogue Nippon and American Eagle Outfitters just to name a few. And who wouldn't want to use her designs??
I, for one, would love to use her designs to adorn the walls of my house. If I could, I would give all my money to her and buy all her artworks!! =D With such an incredible portfolio, here are some of my favourites:
Watercolour:
Isn't the above picture gorgeous? I think those birds are doves and this photo just gives me such a peaceful, accepting feeling... and I think of the concept of world peace; death and life; shadows and hope. . .
Photo Incorporated:
I was a bit disappointed that her portfolio does not incorporate a lot of photographs and I couldn't really point out one that I liked especially. So I just chose a piece that I thought looked the best which is the one above. I just really like the patch across the model's eye and how it drips down like a stream of tears or like blood . . . (o'.'o)
Cut Paper:
I saw this photo and the first thing that came to my mind was cocktails/mocktails. I think it's the blue flower and the yellow background. So cheerful, like a holiday in Hawaii on somewhere exotic with palm trees and little wooden huts.
Edgy:
I love this photo!! The blue eyeshadow, the pink lips, the dark black hair, the swan-like neck... Actually, I'm not really sure what I like about this photo. . . It just stands out and I loved it just like that, without any true reason. . .
The dress with the curls. This is one artwork I would love to display somewhere on my wall.
Acrylics and ink:
You know me. I can't seem to resist food, especially croissants. Mmm...
And so, Perrson definitely knows how to find "the right balance between
the edgy and the elegant, the raw and the beautiful.” Don't you think?? ^^
