Barlena

My name is Barbara. I'm the artist behind Barlena – Illustration and Graphic Design. My drawing style is defined by pastel colors, black linework and sometimes surrealism. Usually my artworks start with paper and pencil and get their final touches on PC. Besides creating new art, I love to read magazines and books, bake cakes and go for long walks in the woods. Nature is a great place to get inspired when I'm having a creative block. My favorite season is autumn and therefore, watching the color switch in trees, and leaves falling gets me inspired and feeds most of my drawings. In summer I do love to be outside and take walks around lakes. The area I am coming from, luckily, does have several different nature spots mixing mountains, lakes, waterfalls and magical forests.
