Artist Gabriella Cetrulo explains that art has played a huge role in her life since she was a little girl. It was a tool that has always helped her process and reimagine her surroundings.
“As an introverted kid, I noticed others would approach me whenever I drew or painted – it was how I made friends. That encouraged me to keep at it and not much has changed,” she told in an interview for Ballpit. Fast forward some time, the NYC-based Cetrulo is nowadays a recognized illustrator who worked with big brand names, including Teen Vogue, H&M, The Wing, and many more.
She describes her artistic process as erratic which involves a “lot of looking, mindless scribbling, and torn out sketchbook pages,” however, her current most liked mediums are colored pencils and gouache.
We really enjoyed browsing through her Instagram page and seeing all the beautiful portraits of women she depicted. Keep up with the artist’s work on her social media accounts or have a look at her personal website.
