So elegant!

I am totally in love with the collage works by Helena Pallarés, I was lucky enough to see her fab works live during The Other Art Fair in London.

She creates minimal colour block portraits using a mixture of illustration and collage, and the result is visually appealing and clean.

You can follow her on Instagram, and purchase her prints and originals here and here.

Purple Crafts – Diem Chau

Delicate art!

I love how the Vietnamese artist Diem Chau explores different materials to create unique art pieces.

Using a minimal design, Diem creates illustrations with fabric and thread on different porcelain objects. The unusual mix of cotton, organza and silk with porcelain is surprisingly stunning.

So beautiful!

I really enjoy the “minimal line” style of the Barcelona artist Chamo San.

His stunning portraits are realized using a combination of ballpoint pens and ink, with an intriguing bold 3D final effect.
