Giants: Exploring Emotions Through Art

How Illustration Became a Canvas for Understanding Feelings and Finding Inner Peace

I'm an illustrator, and my life revolves around drawing. I work on creating assets for video games, but I also find deep satisfaction in drawing as a form of personal expression.

At the beginning of 2023, I delved into a project that arose as part of the "artist vs artist" trend. I created a series of illustrations featuring giants in a rural setting, where nature blends with magical elements, such as bright stars and a moon that shines even in broad daylight.

Then, with the help of artificial intelligence, I conducted analyses to better understand my intentions and the meaning of each illustration. I asked it to pose questions about the illustrations, which helped me delve into their symbolism. For example, the giants represented insecurities, sunsets symbolized change, and the stars and the moon embodied magic and dreams.

In technical terms, I opted for a simple style . My focus was on expressing clear emotions in the characters and creating evocative environments.

This whole process turned into a journey of self-discovery that complemented other strategies I use to improve my mental health and well-being. I would recommend it to other artists and everyone because it's not about the complexity of the pieces, but about using art as a means to access our minds and better understand our feelings.
