Beatriz Martin Vidal

Beatriz Martin Vidal is a Spanish illustrator who creates very intriguing and beautiful artworks.

She does series of works that seem to transform through each piece. In the one above, she creates this stunning movement through her pieces and creates this strange, almost confusing feeling of emptiness by the last piece.

I noticed that a lot of her works involve children or youthful looking subjects. I find this very interesting because children can symbolize many things such as innocence, cleanliness, openness or even creativity. I feel like in her pieces she uses these young looking subjects in a way to show that innocence, and even obliviousness.

There seem to be some sort of theme going on in some of her works because a lot of them tend to not only involve children, but also some sort of form of nature, like vines or plants. They look very delicate and small, yet they seem to be taking over the subject or showing some sort of power or dominance.

The way she uses contrast is really beautiful. She uses mostly neutrals or blacks/whites in her illustrations, but then uses a splash of color somewhere to create this contrast. I feel like if the colors were not like this, the pieces would not be quite as powerful or good looking. The concept would be almost hidden by the lack of color or too much of it, I think.
