Catalina Estrada

This is the work of illustrator Catalina Estrada. Her work particularly appeals to me because of the bright, vivid colours. The scenes which she creates have an enchanted feel making them interesting and intriguing. I admire her style of sophisticated fairytale scenes. The detail and vibrance in the images makes you want to explore them and draws the viewer into her enchanted world.



Her client list includes Paul Smith, Sony Music, Nike and Honda. Below is a limited edition bottle design for Coca Cola designed by Catalina Estrada celebrating Easter. I think her style of illustration is very appropriate for this theme and works really well.

Pretty Paper


Entries for an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in Washington DC. The rule was that the artist could use only one sheet of paper. This has produced some really interesting, intricate and clever outcomes. I am impressed at how they have made the most of being limited to one sheet of paper by using the area that has been cut out, and used to make the model, to add to the overall image.
