Abstractaardvark

Hiya! I’m Serena, but I go under Abstractaardvark online. My practice serves as a portal to a colourful pattern filled world, full of positivity and love. Within my work I strive to illustrate nature and the community experience within it to a fun new level-often using flowers and lush foliage as a repeating motif throughout. Alongside this, I integrate bright colours, big abstract shapes and blobs contrasted with smaller and more eloquent details once you look closer. My practice values the relationships between the natural and the unnatural that take place in our imagination. Inspired by the world and nature around us as well as the early web and online virtual pet games, my practice varies and comes in many shapes and forms. I work both traditionally with watercolour and gouache but also digitally. I strive to make believable and relatable characters within my illustrations that often find themselves in unbelievable and whimsical situations. I hope to create a fun, joyous world within everything I make, and I hope you think so as well!
