“In a way, I was always an illustrator at heart, at least since I was old enough to hold a pencil,” says Myriam Wares. “Drawing has always been a part of me since childhood; I simply continued along that path into adulthood.”
The Montréal-based artist layers themes just like the pure sciences, expertise, mythology, and up to date social points by a surrealist lens. Her wealthy illustrations, commissioned by the likes of The New York Instances, Barron’s, Quanta, and extra, invite viewers into enigmatic, introspective worlds of marvel.
Wares emphasizes dramatic lighting, complementary colours, and the ability of scale in dynamic scenes that emanate heat. She attracts on her background in visible artwork and an curiosity in artwork historical past to create narrative scenes that includes classical sculptures, emotional figures, and welcoming landscapes.
“The language of symbols and visual metaphors feels the most natural to me when comes the time to express myself,” the artist tells Colossal. “I love playing with meanings and thinking of different ways to visually represent an idea.”
Wares enjoys the fixed problem of balancing quite a few tasks together with private inventive work, which evolves over time and informs how she approaches commissions for purchasers. “Every new assignment comes with its own set of demands and aesthetic particularities,” she says. “I never really have time to get bored before a new project comes along.”
