Natalia Sanabria
A glimpse to this young lady's work will be enough to realise her big talent and potential in fashion illustration. Neat, colourful and full of details, her drawing shows the passion and great interest she feels for this art. She is also a graphic designer and as a photographer, she is able to create fantastic scenarios which seem just taken away from a magical world.
We: Where are you from and what do you do?
Natalia: I live in San José in a very cold but beautiful place full of nature. I started studying Graphic design but one year later I felt that I was missing painting, so I went on with both studies. Right now I work as a freelance graphic desinger, but what I enjoy the most is drawing, painting and taking pictures of the places I visit. My dream is working as an illustrator full time.
W: What does art mean to you?
N: I understand art as the ability to create anything unique and give expression to feelings, a way of creating beauty, of interpreting the images that inspire myself through different materials, textures, colours. Art has given me lots of satisfactions and it is seems people like my work, which I highly appreciate.
W: Where do you find inspiration?
N: In so many things: the sky, nature, music, Internet, fashion, objects that I collect as dolls, colourful stones and minerals, frost, patterned paper… A picture can ispire me as much as reaching the point that I want to draw it immediately and I look for the materials to translate it into an illustration.
W: Which are your favourite artists?
N: Gustav Klimt, Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Rembrandt. Searching on the Internet I found out the work of the painter Alex Kanevsky and I got astonished by his technique and the colour palette he uses. Regarding fashion illustrators, Cecilia Carlstedt, Esra Roise, David Downton’s works are really inspiring and also the designs of Nicolas Ghesquiere, among many others.
W: Future plans?
N: Keep on exhibiting my paintings, get an agency that represents me as illustrator. Working on the most I love would be just great.

Alexander Alekseenko
Today we stop at Ukraine to enjoy a bunch of pictures of this talented young photographer. His work has already been shown in several online magazines and photoblogs around the world, which is not surprising at all when every single image of his speaks by itself. Alexander is a genius capturing snapshots, where playful movement takes over and finds a place in your mind. What to say about the sensual, dreamy and mysteriuos atmoshpere he manages to create, an absolutely stunning parallel world.
We: Where are you from and what do you do?
Alexander: I've spent my 22 years in a post-soviet center of the universe, small city in the south of Ukraine. I'm not very positive about living here. Basically all my time is spent at work and filled with thoughts of how to move as far as it possible from here. Carrying camera everywhere with me gives an opportunity to snap everything that catches my attention and what I think is beautiful and worth being shot. I find it a best way to express myself.
W: What does art mean to you?
A: It doesn't have to mean something. Art is a part of humans life, it's something that lives inside and surrounds one always and everywhere. Not everyone is able to feel and see it. It's all about the attitude and self-commitment.
W: Where do you find inspiration?
A: Actually I've lost one few days ago and still can't find it. But usually it comes to me spontaneously. Often in my dreams. Surfing through the photographs in the internet gives a lot of inspiration as well, so many outstanding photographers out there.
W: Which are your favourite artists?
A: There are no actual favorites, I like them all. Every day I see more and more talented people who continue expand the boundaries of conformist life. Also I am really obsessed with all kind of artists who ended up committing suicide or of drug overdose.
W: Future plans?
A: The ultimate goal is to move somewhere out of this county, any help is highly appreciated!
