This Illustrator Is Hungry for Colors

Illustrator and graphic designer, known by her moniker Yogatella, admits she’s hungry for colors. Judging by her Instagram page, this much is clear. Her digital illustrations have a vivacity to them that speaks volumes; her art seems to jump right off the screen.

Talking about her overall aesthetic with Ballpitmag, Yogatella stressed that colors are key to her work. “They are my everything and I use them in abundance,” she said. After colors come textures. “I need them a lot to communicate the nature of the art itself,” she explained. “I am waiting for the day when people will be able to enter an illustration and feel the painted texture just by starring at the art. I also am drawn to patterns, weird characters but also enjoy creating functional illustrations.”

But though colors, textures, and patterns all play part in her artwork, so does narrative and storytelling. “I love to look at a piece of art and be able to create stories out of it,” says Yogatella. “For me, the work of an artist is just the seed that would evolve into a thousand other trees. The artist plants an idea, a concept or a feeling and the world can multiply it in million various ways. Before I start any sketching, I give it a lot of time to the story behind my art.”

Inspired by people, food, and nature, her illustrations are a happy (and of course – colorful) mixture. Take a look for yourself!
