The Artist: Sakshi Jalan
Hi! I’m Sakshi, I split my time between working at Ogilvy and independently on projects that excite me As a multi-disciplinary designer, I focus on a variety of different areas including branding, packaging, website design, campaign, print, and more. The illustrations I put on Instagram are a form of self-expression and I love knowing that people relate to it!
Using colors and patterns comes very naturally to me and so I tend to use a lot of it in my work. You can reach me at sjalan360@gmail.com
A burst of vibrant color and form, in the effortless doodle style, this illustration aims to explore the mechanism behind the complications and reasons of the heart, often deemed unconditional and irrational.
Intimacy: The sense of ‘home’ both emotionally and physically; a feeling of ease and honesty. This illustration manifests the cliché, “if you’re with the right person, even the hard times are easy”.
Despite living in a hypersexualized society, female masturbation and orgasms are not appropriate subjects of discussion, even among girls. This illustration explores why and where this taboo stems from and aims to start a conversation about the same.
The simple gesture of a kiss stirs up myriad emotions of affection and attachment. This piece depicts the warmest hue that is love, with the usage of a warm palette, abstract patterns and gripping illustration style.
It is no secret that while nobody has ever made a scientific count, more songs, literature and art have been made about love than any other subject. This type-based illustration aims to capture that formidable, yet comforting emotion through a busy array of colours and shapes, much like the emotion itself.
“Very few things cannot be solved by holding hands” – Freddy Birdy Vibrant yet effortless in it’s style, this illustration explores the solace and security of the simple and essential human touch.
In an age where we have developed technology and algorithms to look for the love of our lives, this illustration finds the comfort of a real date. Neon bright, cheerful and eye catching, it embodies modern love.
