Italian illustrator Felicita Sala creates delightful works that incorporate elements of painting, drawing, and cut paper. She’s not married to any one technique and combines photography with energetic scribbles.
“I decided to discover the world of art and illustration outside of formal institutions, taking inspiration from from contemporary art, philosophy, music, children, architecture and people on the street,” Felicita writes on her blog. She’s got a very active sketchbook (and regularly posts snippets of it on her there), which I would imagine has helped her in her approach.
