SORAYA BASIRAN

Pencil and paper being the outlet of a do-er and dreamer, it was no coincidence I went to the school for Fashion Design. Tall figures, playful lines and imperfection reflect my love for fashion, as i acquired a personal illustration-signature.

My fashion illustrations are recognisable by an edgy style: exaggerated primary shapes, a blend of eye-popping colours and fusion of acrylic painting and drawings, sometimes digital art. 

“I start with a feeling, shape or colour. Then I paints and draw with all kinds of material I love, like acryl paint or oil pastels”

This concoction of paint always leaves a vacuum left to be filled in by the viewer’s feelings. My work can be seen in various expositions, galleries and collaborations with hotels and fashion brands
