Helena Pérez García’s Stirring, Lush Illustrations

The lush, dreamlike illustrations of Helena Pérez García often pair female subjects and an iteration of nature that is cerebral, rather than just a backdrop. The artist, born in Spain, is currently based in London, where she works on both personal and commercial work. She's published two illustrated books while working for clients like Buzzfeed, Tate Publishing, Penguin Random House, BBC Proms, and several others.
