SAMANTHA OCCHINO
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Samantha is a half Italian, half English designer & illustrator based in Edmonton, North London, Uk.
Living in a city, drawing flora and fauna allows Samantha to feel more connected to nature.
Exploring her passion for traditional hand-drawing through fine liner pens and ink, Samantha creates nature inspired illustrations, applying complex marks and simple, bold colours.
Samantha’s aim is to explore and create a romanticized version of Flora & Fauna subjects that have a romantic essence with dreamy undertones, created by the subtle layering of different mark making.
Using Primarily black and white to highlight hand drawn textures, Samantha likes to add pops of colours to gives the works a fun & modern feel. The monochrome aspect allows for the details to shine, whilst the pops of colour give it an urban, modern twist.
The hope is to give pieces their own unique essence and personality; inviting the viewer to take a closer look and discover unexpected details. The aim is to bring nature to city living communities & individuals.
