Isabella Cotier, Illustrator, London

Description

This vibrant mixed media illustration by London-based illustrator Isabella Cotier depicts a boat listing on heavily textured, reddish-pink water with a prominent shark fin breaking the surface nearby. The artwork employs energetic pastel or crayon strokes, emphasizing raw, expressive mark-making rather than precise realism. The composition plays with bold warm tones across both the water and sky, creating an atmospheric, slightly surreal marine scene. Visible smudging, layered lines, and chalky textures highlight the physical medium used to construct the piece. The overall finish is raw and tactile, capturing dynamic movement through simplified line work.
