Painted Ladies are Stylishly Camouflaged with Their Nature-Filled Surroundings

Painted portraits of women by Carine Arnakis

Illus­tra­tor Carine Arnakis crafts paint­ed por­traits of women that show­case their own sort of cam­ou­flage. The illus­tra­tions fea­ture ladies as they do every­day activ­i­ties like chat­ting on the phone and tend­ing to their plants. They are clad in cloth­ing that is ripe with pat­terns and often mim­ic ele­ments in the back­ground and blurs the line between fore­ground and back­ground. And when the women do stand out, they offer a col­or­ful con­trast that com­ple­ments the rest of their environment.

Carine is reg­u­lar­ly post­ing her work in progress on Insta­gram.
