Malika Favre is a French artist based in London and that shows off a minimalist art that has been used to illustrate pages of newspapers like The New York Times and that is also valid for us to show the exquisite use of shadows to illustrate works of great quality and exceptional technique.
An artist who studied graphic design in Paris before finally moving to London where he joined Airside in 2006, a renowned multidisciplinary design studio. Publications such as Vogue, The New Yorker or the one mentioned above are part of his portfolio and shows how his minimalist art attracts the viewer's eye a lot.
The image we have as a header demonstrate good use of shadows and how it surrounds the neck as if it represented another motive, and how the shadows on the hands take their place, giving another double meaning to the same illustration.
Those shadows so well located and offering other senses such as with the medallion, which is suddenly transformed into a padlock with which to prove the worth of that necklace that is being placed on his neck.
Favre demonstrates in this illustration all the power it treasures for minimalist art and an adequate use of a range of colors that provoke certain emotionalities to the viewer. Without forgetting his great technique in what are the appropriate and proportioned forms to offer a high quality visual set.
