Slovenia-based illustratorVivian Minekercreates charming, atmospheric illustrations that visualize colorful, imaginary scenes.
I have been drawing since I can remember, really, Mineker tells My Modern Met.
Each whimsical scene is rendered using watercolor and colored pencil, before being digitally refined.
The beautiful results boast a blend of traditional texture with a vibrant, modern aesthetic.
Mineker finds inspiration all around her, but shes especially influenced by the surrounding nature of her own neighborhood.
Many of her works feature imaginary characters, such as friendly-looking ghosts and even giant purple fish.
[Im] constantly trying to dig myself out of the inspirational rabbit hole that I fall into.
There are so many talents and unbelievably creative people out there!
However, its the work of others that has helped Mineker find her own style.
Through imitating her favorite artists, she was able to try every style and medium she was drawn to.
Just be patient and dont give up.
