I'm Éva Gustavson, a third year VCD Illustration student at AUArts who loves the process of making hazy ideas into tangible artworks. I especially enjoy painting because being completely lost in the act of looking at colour never ceases to bring me joy. I work with a wide variety of subject matter, but often return to themes of personal memory, nature, and playful characters in space. I find inspiration from a variety of sources, my bakery job, my travels, and being surrounded by creative people just to name a few.  

In my illustrations, I use vivid colours and strong shapes; I aim to create work that appeals to my inner child. My practice is grounded in acrylic painting, but has since expanded to collage, ink, digital paintings, and interactive work. My artwork is characterized by strong colours applied with confident marks. I am constantly growing and improving my craft.
