According to De Meal Prepper, she originally wanted to create some visually appealing dishes for her food blog. While doing this, she got “a little too enthusiastic” and ended up making meals that resembled animals, flowers, and pop culture characters.

Some of her creations include rice dish in shape of a hedgehog, mix of fresh seafood and smoked salmon shaped like a deer, and Mung bean and cauliflower puree styled to resemble Baby Yoda.

As a base, she uses breakfast smoothies made from cream, milk, fruits, and berries, while the paintings themselves are created using coconut cream, almond milk, spices, herbs, and vegetable powders. Playing with textures, patterns, and contrast, she sticks to vibrant color palettes that make the finished product all the more appetizing.

Her smoothie-paintings reinterpret real or fictional characters. Amongst them, you can find a smoothie portrait of Frida Kahlo and the dance scene from La La Land. She also loves creating animal paintings, with the result being undeniably cute.

“It all started with a happy accident,” recalled Zakariya in an interview with Vogue. “I was trying to garnish my soup with coconut cream swirls, but it didn’t turn out as planned, so I added some pesto and created a tree.”

“I love getting into creative projects in my spare time,” said the self-taught food artist, who treats her work as a hobby. “It’s a great mindfulness practice and a way of expressing myself, challenging my skills, and creating something that is unique.”

“I originally studied advertising back in Shanghai for college,” she told Freelance Wisdom. “Upon graduation, I took a giant leap into illustration and came to America to attend graduate school at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. After I finished my MFA degree I moved to New York, aiming to become a freelance illustrator.”

“I love food, which is obvious,” she added. “So when I first started out, I took some advice from my peers and started a Tumblr that was dedicated to practicing drawing food, called Hu is Hungry. Then one day I got a big number of reblogs, and gained more fans in 24 hours than my other Tumblr did in 2 years. After that, I made a pin based on one of my food drawings and surprisingly sold a lot when I was tabling at MOCCA, more than most of my other creations.”

“After finishing a big project back in 2016, I dedicated 2 months of my time fully to Hu is Hungry, and from there, everything started to build and grow.” Take a look at some of our favorite creations of hers in the gallery below.

“I have been a food illustrator almost exclusively for about three years,” Hovey told Lecture in Progress. “Most of my year is taken up with my main client, Love Productions and Channel 4 for whom I produce illustrated graphics for a number of programs under the Great British Bake Off umbrella. As well as Bake Off I work on The Great American Baking Show, Junior Bake Off and Stand Up 2 Cancer Bake Off. I also work on a select few jobs throughout the year, mainly food-related projects.”

His illustrations are playful as they are mouthwatering, adding a delicious flavor to the UK series. “For a long time, I couldn’t see a way that I could ever be comfortable financially and be a full-time illustrator,” he admitted. “So being able to support myself through drawing is something that I am grateful for every day and try not to take for granted.”

She draws inspiration for her work from everything that surrounds her but has developed her unique imaginative style through reading fantasy and sci-fi novels and watching Studio Ghibli’s animations.

The prolific artist wants her illustrations to look as realistic and alive as possible but also charm the audience with a dream-like vibe at the same time. When drawing, she is continuously exploring everything that brings immense joy to her soul. After trying a variety of different topics and sources, Lua found that food illustrations bring the most delight to both her and her followers, so she started focusing more on this subject.  

Her biggest motivation for creating art lies in her wish to shape good, positive stories and communicate them through her realistic-looking illustrations with her audience, so she captions each of her delicate illustrations of mouth-watering foods with a message expressing her personal experiences. 

Lua is currently living and working in Hilversum, The Netherlands, but dreams of moving to Scotland one day.
