For a while now, I've been very interested and influenced by the work of Argentinian artist Irana Douer.I find the style of her work to be really simplistic yet effective, the messiness of the pencil marks on the paper looks really good in contrast to the rest of the fine lines in her images. Irana has tackled the issue of the role of women in society, feeling like she has always been a strong, independent female and has tried to translate this feeling of strength and power into her work. Irana's work has really influenced me to start exploring illustration using a pencil and sometimes mixing this with paint and colour, materials which I would usually stay away from due to the messiness and lack of control you can sometimes have while using them.
