INSPIRED BY: Mixed media artist, Deborah Roberts.

Looking at the work of @rdeborah191 you must look through multiple layers, double meanings and symbols. Her process combines found and manipulated images with hand drawn and painted details to create hybrid figures. These figures often take the form of young girls. “ I’m interested in the way young girls symbolize vulnerability but also a naïve strength. The girls who populate my work, while subject to societal pressures and projected images, are still unfixed in their identity. Each girl has character and agency to find their own way amidst the complicated narratives of American, African American and art history. “

Roberts’ artist statement really gives insight on the notion of beauty.– “My art practice takes on social commentary, critiquing perceptions of ideal beauty. Stereotypes and myths are challenged in my work; I create a dialogue between the ideas of inclusion, dignity, consumption, and subjectivity by addressing beauty in the form of the ideal woman, the Venus. By challenging Venus, my work challenges the notion of universal beauty—making room for women of color who are not included in this definition.” #africanamericanart

INSPIRED BY: French artist Koralie creates vibrant, absorbing wall art and works on canvas that combine influences from both traditional and contemporary Japanese art, African and English history.

It is said that @____koralie____ uses a character in her work that is fully integrated into her backgrounds.

Koralie began in the field of architecture. In the early 2000s, she embarked on her career in art. She discovered graffiti in Toulouse, France which inspired her to start painting on walls throughout the city. She has since painted murals in Tokyo, New York, Berlin, Barcelona, Rome, Copenhagen, Paris, Philadelphia, Hô Chi Minh, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Bangkok, London, Cape Town.
She draws additional inspiration from her travels around the world and is particularly interested in folk customs, emblematic monuments and animist rituals, which offer an aesthetic richness full of a variety of symbols.

INSPIRED BY: Malika Favre is a French artist.

@malikafavre has a bold, minimal style – often described as Pop Art meets OpArt – it is a striking lesson in the use of positive/negative space and colour.

Her unmistakable style has established her as one of the UK’s most sought after graphic artists. Malika’s clients include The New Yorker, Vogue, BAFTA, Sephora and Penguin Books, and more.

Check out her feed to all the goodness.🧡💚🖤 ❤️💙
