Being a creative student, I have always been inspired by different medias of art. Despite the fact that I am doing a course in photography, it doesn't just mean that my work is influenced by photographers alone. One artist who I find particularly inspiring is Wendy Ortiz. Since I was a little girl, I have always been captivated by beautiful illustrations. Whenever my mum would read me a story, she would get tired of me stopping her from turning pages of my fairytale books, just so I could look at the illustrations for a bit longer. The work of Wendy Ortiz reminds me of some of the illustrations I used to see in my fairytale books. Ortiz creates a dark yet romantic theme throughout her work, which is also reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement.
Most creatives these days tend to connect to their audience through social media. I follow Wendy Ortiz on Instagram and Facebook. Not only does she share her fantastic work, but she'll share who inspires her, and what helped her to become the brilliant artist she is. Her work is influenced by the artwork of Alphonse Mucha, which is very clear if you look at the details and use of patterns in her work.
I hope you enjoyed looking at the artwork of Wendy Ortiz, if you love her work just as much as I do, go and check out her website!
