HOW I WORK?
SERIES OF WORKS ABOUT WATER PARKS
TASK Create a series of illustrations.The objective was to select a specific type of space and, using a personal visual style, illustrate it through multi-figure compositions.CONCEPT Water parks are like a construction set made up of slides, pipes, tiles, water, and human emotions.In this series, I deconstruct water parks into their individual components and reassemble them to create an entirely new space.
EPISODE ONE: «THE WATER PARK IS SERIOUSLY AWESOME»
The graphic series of five posters, titled «The Water Park Is Seriously Awesome,» offers an abstract representation—or perhaps an «animation"—of the carefree spirit and laughter found in water parks, which are so beloved by both children and adults. Vibrant colors, dynamic shapes, and collage-style elements capture the essence of summer vacations and sunny days.
PROCESS
VISUAL DEVELOPMENTThe environment was designed to capture the atmosphere of water parks. I developed the locations, compositions, and visual mood for each illustration—from the color palette and the placement of the water slides to the selection of characters featured in the scenes.

EPISODE TWO: «SERIOUSLY, IT’S JUST AWESOME»
«Seriously, It’s Just Awesome» is a series of three panoramic images designed for lampshades. The spaces will be rendered in a flattened format, created through a mechanical digital collage technique with additional manual refinement.
PROCESS
VISUAL DEVELOPMENTWhile working on this series, I practiced a few exercises in depicting simplified space to create a greater sense of depth; furthermore, given the panoramic format of the pieces, it was important for me to carefully develop every detail within the illustrations.
