Oriana Fenwick
The world of illustration offers a variety of techniques and styles that are constantly evolving and changing - Oriana Fenwick is an artist who opposes this evolution and specializes in the time-honored art of analogue drawing. Oriana prefers to create her illustrations using pencils, colored pencils and watercolors. Her work is a rarely seen mix of extreme attention to detail and intense photorealism. Oriana then finalizes her analogue artworks digitally and optimizes them for print or the web.
In a world in which filters and digital processing are omnipresent, Oriana relies on the "honest line": she sees her hand-made, analogue motifs as a form of resistance against increasing digitalization - as a way to express humanity in an increasingly complex world to maintain perspective.
She received her diploma in visual communication at the renowned University of Design in Offenbach am Main, where she studied in Eike König's class. Her training allows her to skillfully combine the principles of graphic design with her illustrations.
Oriana developed visual languages for a variety of projects, including designing illustrations for the US law firm Atticus as well as creating 80 pencil illustrations for the book "The Pencil Perfect" for Gestalten Verlag. Her work contributes significantly to the identity and emotional expression of the brands she works with.
From candid to detailed briefs, Oriana enjoys working with clients to develop visual concepts. She creates motifs that contribute significantly to a story and bring ideas to life. Oriana created a series of illustrations for Atavist Magazine that illuminates the tragic story of three Afghan women - this conceptual work has not only aesthetic but also narrative value, and it is able to present this complex topic in a captivating and easy-to-understand manner.
When it comes to illustrations that have both technical finesse and a sound conceptual way of thinking, then Oriana Fenwick is the right choice. Her analog work brings a level of authenticity and honesty to brand communication that is becoming increasingly rare in the modern, digital world!
