CRÉATEUR’s Unpublished Créative Eden Kolbo
“My work is a personal exploration into mindset, positive change and spontaneous expression.”
I am inspired by the essence of dreams, curious about how geometry, symbolism and color are woven through meaning and context. My inspiration comes from the curved edges and ever-flowing style of pop culture; action figures, sneaker design and fashion. Illustration to me reflects an inner constant change and fluid adaption, a courage inspired by standing on the very edge of the known world — creating the next reality with the elements scavenged from previous iterations and experiences. Painting with acrylic on wood allows me to explore form and contrast while achieving a smooth and polished look. The forms of animals, plants and the mysterious passage of time are at play within the spirit of my work. I use nature, music and intuition to form motifs. Vibrant color palettes featuring cool pastels and complimentary hues are signature to my visual field, using gradients and negative space to show depth and gem-like quality. Standing on the edge of surreal and serene is a special kind of freedom, I never plan on stepping back.
