In the fifth instalment of Individuals we’re talking about Tina Jiang, graphic design and illustration. You may not know anything about her yet, or perhaps you’ve heard of her or seen some of her striking work.
What’s certain is that she won’t leave you indifferent if you give her a chance.
Who are we talking about this time on Individuals?
Tina Jiang, based in Los Angeles, is an illustrator with enormous potential who has made her work known through social media.
Of Asian descent, her work draws on the folklore and mythology of that part of the world.
Her work
Through illustration she manages to convey a perfect blend of sensuality and fashion, bringing together Asian mythology and the present day in the same piece.
Her use of colour is fascinating: together with the body language and the gazes, it carries us into a world of beauty, melancholy and Asian folklore, all of it reinvented through a very contemporary eye.
A fine reworking of classic anime and manga brought into the present.
Beyond that, her illustrations are a fusion of Eastern creation and French illustrative art.
In her illustrations she conveys all of those qualities perfectly: power, tradition, contemporaneity, sensuality, beauty and nightmare.
In her work we find the struggle between good and evil, love, hatred and desire.
A genuine feast for the senses of anyone who loves illustration and graphic design.
As well as winning several awards, she also collaborates with other artists on various publications, covers and more.
