The Design

About Human and Sea Digital illustrationsserie

Human and Sea är en serie digitala konstillustrationer om relationen mellan människan och havet. Illustrationerna använder en surrealistisk stil och en montageform. Kvinnliga gestalter förekommer bland fiskar, koraller och sjögräs, tillsammans med avfall som lämnats kvar i vattnet. Harmonin mellan människan och havet hyllas, samtidigt som föroreningen och förstörelsen av havet kritiseras. Varje bild är skapad på en ritplatta med digital målarprogramvara. Serien är framtagen för tryck och онlinemedia, med målet att stödja havsbevarande.
