This collection of vector illustrations represents an exploration of mixed media and real-world references, culminating in a series of low poly 2D drawings. The approach was rooted in combining the precision of vector art with the tactile inspiration drawn from physical textures, objects, and environments.
Each illustration in this collection was designed with a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a basic color palette to maintain simplicity and focus. By limiting the color range, the illustrations achieved a clean, cohesive look while still conveying depth and dimensionality. The use of only two planes of depth—a foreground and a background—was intentional, creating a stark contrast that emphasizes the geometric forms and contours within each piece.
The process involved deconstructing real-world elements into their most fundamental shapes and forms, translating these into sharp, angular polygons that characterize the low poly style. This technique allowed for a fresh interpretation of familiar subjects, stripping them down to their essential lines and surfaces while still retaining their recognizable features.
In exploring mixed media, the illustrations also drew inspiration from various artistic techniques, such as collage, layering, and texture mapping, albeit in a simplified digital format. This fusion of methods resulted in a unique visual style that bridges the gap between traditional and digital art forms.
The collection as a whole reflects a balance between abstraction and realism, where complex ideas and references are distilled into clear, precise vector art. By working within the constraints of a basic color palette and limited depth, the illustrations achieve a striking visual impact, proving that simplicity can often lead to the most powerful and evocative designs.
