I Used The Symbolism Of Flowers To Represent The Qualities Of Each Star Sign In These 12 Poetic Illustrations
My name is Vanessa, I am a French illustrator who lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I quit my hospitality job 6 months ago to live off my passion for illustration and despite the struggles that being a full-time artist entails I couldn't be happier or more proud of myself today than I ever was.
My art is inspired by nature, plants, animals, folklore, and spirituality and promotes values of love, tolerance, well-being, and care for all living things.
I love to attach a meaning and/or a story behind every illustration I make.
With this series, I spent some time doing research around the symbolism that we find in the stars, in flowers, and within ourselves depending on when/where we were born.
I then combined them together to represent the beautiful qualities that we associate which each Zodiac Signs in these 12 calming botanical illustrations.
