We can’t stop raven about this week’s Featured Artist Adriannaillustrations. Take flight with a ghostly guide to see the world of the unexpected with soft muted colors and surrealist nature-inspired visions. Whether it’s a white raven or a yellow ladybug, Adrianna’s artwork offers a glimpse of nature seen through a surprising new lens.

Adriannaillustrations admits that although she never intended to become an artist, she unexpectedly found herself on the path to becoming one. She followed her passion “to create” and discovered that drawing made her happy and was something she wanted to pursue. The 28-year-old from Poland is “new to the art world” but she loves the way it allows her to “escape the real world” and focus on what is truly important. In her spare time, she loves reading books, learning new languages, and rollerblading.

She confesses, “I am still looking for my unique style” but that she gravitates towards capturing flowers, animals, and surreal elements in her art. She believes that inspiration is “everywhere” and she is constantly finding new ideas for creative projects. However, although she is never without an idea to pursue, her greatest challenge lies in maintaining her confidence in a world filled with extremely talented artists. She admits that it can be difficult to stop comparing herself to others and makes “an effort to ignore [her] doubts and insecurities” and keep creating. She says it is important to “believe in yourself, don't give up and be patient.”

Adriannaillustrations considers that with all the rules and restrictions in our lives, creativity should be about abandoning these constraints and creating “without any rules and instructions” instead. She encourages others to embrace the freedom of art and follow their passion.
