“I’m curious about the aesthetics of holiness and eyes have this divine omnipresent awareness to them,” she explained the symbolism in an interview with HuffPost, “something that’s contained all around us and within us. Eyes are symbols of protection, symbols of sovereignty. I place them everywhere to show that they’re totally accessible.”

“I also am interested in cuteness as a sense of armor,” she further relayed. “Looking at that in caterpillars and butterflies and all of these small creatures that have made themselves appear a certain way to be protected. How do we make ourselves seem larger than life? Cuteness and femininity can be a source of protection and a source of fierceness.”

Recent works include women portraits, drawn in washed-out colors with pastel hues. Exhibited across the U.S., in New Orleans, New Mexico, LA, Miami, and the Bay Area, DeJesus Moleski has been recently gaining momentum.

Having studied Fine Arts at ArtEZ University in Arnhem and later obtained a BFA in Drawing and Art History, Vooijs’ art is built upon a solid foundation, an experimentation with shape and form. “I like to see what happens when you cross digital stuff and layer that with traditional methods,” she explains on her website. “Building up and peeling pieces away or scratching my way back to the surface, until I feel that it might be time to step back and leave it alone.”

Though her pieces vary, the process is fairly straight forward and usually begins with an image found on the internet or in magazines. Often, these images become the physical basis for Vooijs’ work. Using digital sketches, prints, markers, spray paint, thread, and ink, she transforms the original images so that they reflect her life and her aesthetics.

“Some pieces took so long I almost gave up,” she relayed in an interview with Jung Katz. “Actually, I did repaint a lot of my work… sometimes it’s just the quickest fix and besides that, it’s budget-friendly. I also often work on a couple of pieces simultaneously.”

Using the found paper maps as his canvas, Fairburn is interested in the way in which each completed map behaves more like a portrait when viewed from further away—much like the way in which the shapes of countries and continents can only fully be understood from afar.

“I’ll either source my maps from charity shops or old book shops – we have lots of both here in the UK,” relayed Fairburn in an interview with yatzer. “If I’m working on a specific commission I’ll usually source a map on the internet to make the most suitable choice, in terms of the location. When considering a map to work on, I look at the patterns, orientation, and other characteristics – I usually find that the more ‘cluttered’ maps offer the most scope.”

According to Fairburn, his aim isn’t to work against the map, but rather take note from it, preserving the functionality of each map by feeding the composition. To accomplish this, he often spends hours studying each map before actually beginning the work itself. It’s a complicated process, which takes time and patience. But, the results are well worth it.

Handcrafting each work from start to finish, the result is highly textured and intricately detailed art pieces and collages that can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to complete. “I like to spend time reminiscing on the past while flipping through the pages of decades forgotten magazines, intently searching for the perfect shape, color, or texture within a periodical’s pages to add to my archive of collage elements,” writes Geiman on his website, reflecting on his creative process.

“I decided on the medium of collage because I didn’t have money to buy ‘proper’ supplies like fancy brushes or even canvas when I first started out,” he explains. “The paper I used then and still use today comes from abandoned spaces – old farmhouses, burned down buildings, abandoned gas stations, and the like.”

Multilayered and rich in narrative, his artwork weaves tales of foregone eras and untamed wilderness – landscapes, scenery, and characters that are inspired by the world he grew up in. “I grew up on a farm, caught crickets and bailed hay, painted with mud, dug up civil war relics, listened to midnight mockingbirds,” writes Geiman poetically. “These are the ingredients of life that have stuck with me and have built the foundation for the artwork I set forth into the world.”

According to her personal website, she has been exploring the medium of printmaking and other alternative forms of mark-making such as drawing, painting, and collage. She is fascinated by the duality of animal and human life as they both exist together and die together in the world, as one.

“In my drawings and mixed media works, I explore the anxieties I have surrounding death, decay, and anxiety about the future and the dynamic relationship between humans and nature,” the artist wrote on Bored Panda. “I create images and narratives of what I perceive to be both fleeting moments right before death and (possible) life after death depicted by the human figure, nature, and animals.”

Although she doesn’t have a big following on her Instagram account, we assure you that her work is worth checking out. So, if you have got intrigued, just keep on scrolling!

Ngai produces layered illustrations that reveal elaborate worlds packed with sudden details. Every scene provokes the viewer to pause, ensuring they haven’t missed an important character which might unlock the artwork’s tangled narrative. She believes art should impart feeling, communicate ideas and evoke empathy beyond the language barriers. Her concept of art is that it can be used as a powerful instrument for social change.

Ngai uses a mix of traditional and digital techniques in her work, like drawing with dip pens, brushes or radiographs, followed by adding texture layers on paper with a wide selection of media such as paint, charcoal or crayons. Later that the image is scanned, and the coloring and composition are being completed in Photoshop.
