Featured Artist - Daria Jabenko

Illustration, for Daria, is inspiring a world of dreams. Every illustration has a personality. The palette of colors can be sensuous and complex or sleek, simple and gleaming, but above all, unexpected, potent and creatively ambitious. The invented world should be a place to go that’s familiar, almost nostalgic, yet strange and new. Her main objective is to provoke positive feelings and a better mindset in the audience. Daria creates most of her illustrations by hand using gouache medium in combination with ink and watercolor.
