Essi Kimpimäki’s Beautiful Illustrations Inspired by Travel

Essi Kimpimäk­i’s illus­tra­tions depict jour­neys and archi­tec­ture of dif­fer­ent lands. Nor­way, Moroc­co, and even Cal­i­for­nia are places that she’s craft­ed with her col­or­ful, heav­i­ly tex­tured style. I espe­cial­ly love the top image, which was inspired by the nar­row alleys of Alfama in Lis­bon. With a clear divide in the com­po­si­tion, it’s as if we’re look­ing at two sep­a­rate pieces. But, the hard angle is a nice con­trast to the wind­ing steps and clothes that flut­ter in the breeze.
