IRIDESCENT The Art of Laia Lopez

Laia López is a Spanish artist who has more than 1.2 million Instagram followers. She's internationally known for her art style and her illustrated novels, Strawberry Moon and RoyaltyWitches, and her first art book Gleaming: The Art of Laia López. "The spirit of each of these characters will accompany you through a great iridescent mosaic...illustrations that I have been creating over the past few years [starring my characters] Crimson, Sienna, Hansa, Viridian, Marina, Prue and Vi await you between the pages of this art book." Outstanding character studies, a multitude of faces in various stages of emotion, plus plenty of full page works. Her coloring is gorgeous, her characters are unique and her backgrounds are lush and detailed. She studied Fine Arts in Barcelona, Spain, and after graduating, worked within the Spanish publishing industry for publishers such as Random House. She has developed her own art style by watching tutorials and observing other artists’ workflow and techniques. She reminds us at times of both Disney animated films and of Miyazaki's heroes and heroines, as well as the fantasy worlds that Miyazaki's films create. A very handsome, oversized square art book, published by the prestigious Norma Editorial in Spain. In two languages, Spanish and English. Superbly printed. Handsome full color jacket and different cover art on the binding itself.
