Angelina Rataj is an illustrator, fine artist, and graphic designer from New York. She combines her love of music and visual art by translating the music she listens to into a visual medium. Angelina draws from her life experiences and childhood inspirations to create work that explores an overarching theme of the human experience. Often using emotion as the driving force behind her work, she seeks to capture a feeling or moment in time.
This project highlights three different musicians, and explores the relationship between the creator and their art. The artists I listen to allow me a glimpse into their world through the music they make. Using mixed media techniques I provided a space for them to interact with a character I created. Through a 50/50 process of planning and spontaneity I allowed my subconscious to step into the driver's seat. A collaboration between myself and the artists I admire.
