Esthera Preda’s Illustrations are a Curious Interpretation of Reality

If you’re a long time read­er of this blog, you’ll prob­a­bly know what attracts me to Esthera Pre­da’s water­col­or illus­tra­tions. They’re bright, sur­re­al, and include beau­ti­ful blooms! Fea­tur­ing por­trai­ture, land­scapes, and cats (my favorite!), the min­i­mal­ist paint­ings offer a curi­ous inter­pre­ta­tion of real­i­ty. Ani­mals with two eyes? Hors­es that can fly? This is all pos­si­ble in Esther­a’s uni­verse, and we’re bet­ter off for it.

Esthera sells her hand­i­work in a cou­ple of shops: Society6 and Tic­tail.
