Elliana Esquivel, known as @elesq on Instagram, is a young woman who gives comfort and raises awareness with her heart. The illustrator's intricate emotion to anyone looking at her numerous drawing, and of course, she earns full attention with the coloring and shapes she creates. Elliana, the San Jose-born, portrays her characters (a young woman or man) as having a sense of sadness, but within lies beauty.
Illustrator Elliana tends to play around with the theme of water, but most of her drawings focus on the idea of interior space and the human form. Her aesthetic is simple but offers a brief moment of reflection in chaos, anxieties, solitude, and internal unrest of daily life. Elliana finds inspiration in all sorts of things, including snap under shadows, how color blends, sprays of light, people, and their gestures, among others. So here we’ve collated Elliana’s newest, and they’re sure to leave you thinking. Enjoy!
