Ignatiadou’s clever juxtapositions might be related to her mixed academic training. Born in Russia, Ignatiadou graduated from the academy of architecture and art, Rostov on Don, in 2011, and received a diploma of the “Artist of Arts and Crafts” in textiles. 

“Originally I am from Russia, North Caucasus and I lived among mountains and beautiful nature until I was 25,” she recalled in an interview with I Love Illustration, relaying her cultural upbringing. “I was born in a creative family,” she noted. “My mother wrote stories that were printed in local magazines. My father and younger sister played in a small band. And I loved dancing when I was younger.”

Currently based in Germany, her projects include collaborations with the textile and fashion industries, alongside more traditional illustration work, with clients as big as Puma, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle Magazine. Inspired by nature, female beauty, and Eastern cultures, her work more often than not focuses on women and explores the different types of femininity in the context of fashion and beauty.

“The main themes and motives for my works are the female figures, surrounded by floral ornaments and the main concept of my work is beauty,” she explains.

According to Holliday, her messages are aimed at other women, encouraging them to tap into what she calls their “God-given gifts.” And with an impressive following on Instagram, women (and men), are clearly tapping in.

“From a young age, I would sketch comic strips and draw people,” recalled Holliday in an interview with Freelance Wisdom, describing her creative upbringing. “I never took it too seriously until after I finished college with a degree in marketing,” she notes. “I decided that I wasn’t really doing what I loved to do, and then after the birth of my first child, I got an insane passion to go for what I always dreamed of.”

Art started taking root again in her heart, and Holliday listened. “I started sketching illustrations and sharing them online,” she says. “At a really wild time, I was pregnant with my second child, I decided to take the leap to freelance and it’s been a thrilling, fulfilling, and adventurous ride,” she adds.

With a solid following on Instagram, she clearly made the right choice. Based in Sydney, she now works full time as an illustrator and graphic designer. Her designs are very much contemporary, focused on women of all shapes and colors lounging around in their pajamas, and situated in interiors that seem immersed in greenery.

A creative spirit, inspiration comes easy for Joyce. “I like going for a walk or a swim (salt water is the cure for EVERYTHING!) but also just lounging around,” she notes. “It’s amazing how creative you can be if you just give yourself some time to be lazy!”

Traveling also makes for a good source of inspiration. “Being around new cultures and landscapes is incredibly invigorating and can really shake up how you view your work,” says Joyce. “When you’re working full time in a creative industry, it’s easy to get tunnel vision and start recycling ideas. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I do think that getting outside of your comfort zone can be a nice creative.”

“The female figure is a big source of inspiration,” relayed Genualdo in an interview with Creative Boom. But she’s also very much inspired by her own personal experiences. “My illustrations and paintings reflect my personal life and emotions, and the way the characters evolve reflect the way my perception of myself evolves through time,” she went on to explain.

As such her illustrations, though personal, touch on universal subjects that most people (and especially women) might relate to. “With my fine art pieces, I mostly rely on my imagination, although many of the works I produce have been influenced by what surrounds me, my memories, women I have met, so can be considered a metaphorical reinterpretation of reality,” says Genualdo.

Using simple shapes and a limited color palette, her artworks also include decorative motifs like flowers and leaves – a representation of the natural world, which Genualdo feels connected to. The overall effect is inviting, if a bit uneasy.

“Colors are very important in my work,” said Jane in an interview with the &Klevering blog. “I’m always looking for new and exciting color combinations. I love full illustrations with a lot of different objects and patterns.”

“I think they have a very handmade feel because I use a lot of textures and elements painted in watercolors,” adds the Amsterdam-based creative. “I like illustration styles that are non-digital or appear to be, and that are a little clumsy and charming. I don’t like perfect things in general.”

And other people seem to like her illustration style just as well, with more than 200k followers and clients that include The New Yorker to Unicef. “Growing up, I was always making things,” she recalled. “When we went on vacation I always brought scrapbooks, journals and drawing books with me.” An early passion which has blossomed ever since.

Her mission is to create content that will help all women feel celebrated, empowered, uplifted, and supported. “As life has it’s many challenges and it’s important that we are reminded everyday that we matter, we are loved, and we are worthy,” she writes on her website.

And with almost 400k followers on Instagram, it’s clear that many women are looking to be reminded just that. “The wonderful thing about social media is that you get to meet people around the world and you find out what they are dealing with, and with that you can be like, we’re dealing with the same things as well,” says Reels in an interview with Who What Wear.

“It’s not just [connecting with people] in our community, which is important, but also to connect with people around the world and what they are dealing with and have empathy for those people as well.”

Her platform has allowed her to become one of the organizers for the Women’s March in Los Angeles and a speaker at the Create & Cultivate Conference in Chicago.

“I think unconsciously, I always knew I wanted it to be a community because I always felt that women together are powerful,” she says. “We are so much better working together than separately. There are so many things that separate us, but if we can use all of those things and work to equalize all playing fields for all women, it’s just much better for the world and all of us.”

“Since I was very young I have been interested in images of women,” admitted Flint in an interview with The Harvard Advocate. “I loved the clothes and the fabrics and the atmospheres that were created, the sense of life and imagination… a female world celebrated. Fashion magazines are meant to reflect our desire and imagination. But it is a world that just feels so engendered to me now. Painting feels like making peace with my reality.”

Talking about her subjects, she says she imagines these women are focused and carried away in thought. “Facial expressions can really dominate a painting,” she says. “I prefer a more ambiguous reading so the painting itself has room to become the expression. I’m often not sure what it is I want the figure to be feeling. I need to surrender and find it within the painting. We are used to seeing people depicted smiling or scowling in advertisements where ambiguity isn’t going to sell anything.”

Based in Melbourne, Flint has held solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Hobart and has exhibited in major state and regional galleries. You can also check out her work on her Instagram page.

“I feel like growing up knowing that I wanted to work in art somehow,” she admitted. But going to art museums and galleries and seeing that the majority of the artwork was created by male artists proved a challenge and begged the question: who was there to represent her and what she wants to become?”

“On the flipside, the majority of the work that I saw, especially in classical art museums, depicted women, but they were also depicted by male artists,” she went on to explain. “So for me, it just felt so inaccurate. Women aren’t just sexual or just maternal. There is so much more to who we are and how we look, and I just felt like there was such a disconnect.”

She knew she had to do something to flip the narrative around. Now, she paints exclusively women who are presented as quirky, whimsical beings. Bold, graphic, and cartoonlike, her portrayals of women seem at times, more realistic then those we’re used to seeing.

And with clients that include The New York Times, Google, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci, other people are taking note. Take a look for yourself.

“Blood Mountain is a sculptural installation featuring a 3-meter-high mound of red clothing and apparel,” Blake shared on Bored Panda. “Upon closer inspection t-shirts with feminist slogans like ‘Girl Power’ and ‘The Future Is Female’ can be seen poking through the debris. Fashion items, once hung in pristine department stores, now presented as a giant pile of landfill.”

According to the artist, she created the Blood Mountain installation in response to the fast fashion industry piggybacking on the feminist movement.
