I’ve been assigned to do an editorial illustration for Refinery 29's (UK) article. The article is about people with rosacea (which I do have, unfortunately) and how they are affected by the currently sunkissed makeup trend that’s going on around tiktok.
Here are the initial studies I’ve made
Aikawa Eri was born on September 6,1993 in Yokohama Japan, a Japanese-Filipino Fine Artist based in Japan who specializes in traditional media such as oils, watercolours, acrylics, coloured pencils and others. She also has the knowledge on digital art.
She started joining competitions when she was six years old, her passion for Art grew and from then on she knows what she want to become in the future.
She started painting in the middle of college and mostly focuses on fetishes. Her works is both innocent and erotic. Each subject emits an attractive yet disturbing feel. She’s more on figurative paintings on emotional state that is surrounded with the halo of sublime and melancholia. Her works are predominantly influenced by the East Asian culture and the West which creates chemistry in both cultures making it distinctive and elegant.
