Project description

Welcome to my world of musical illustrations, where darkness, melancholy, and a unique graphic style intertwine…

I'm Angela Puliche, a passionate and professional Colombian illustrator and graphic designer based in Edinburgh. With musicians as my muse, I delve deep into melodies, crafting illustrations that resonate profoundly. My work captures the emotional essence of music, blending imagination and sentiment to explore the interplay of sound and vision.

Every single piece on display has been inspired by the various sounds and emotions from different musical sources. Using a distinct graphic style, I meticulously compose each piece to reflect the music's core, resulting in a captivating aesthetic primarily composed of innately melancholic and symbolic imagery.

Step into a realm where music and art evoke profound emotions. Join me on this journey of artistic exploration and resonance…
