Charming Folk Art-Inspired Characters Who Have a Bigger Story to Tell

Folk art illustrations by Lia Tuia

Illus­tra­tor and graph­ic design­er Lia Tuia cre­ates a charm­ing world con­sist­ing of crea­ture char­ac­ters and botan­i­cal ele­ments. The images, which employ a lim­it­ed col­or palette and bold black lines, have a dec­o­ra­tive sen­si­bil­i­ty to them and feel like posters (or some oth­er adver­tise­ment) for a larg­er sto­ry akin to the Moomins. But rather than resem­bling hip­popota­mus­es, many of Lia’s fig­ures are rem­i­nis­cent of rabbits.

Lia sells her folk art illus­tra­tions on Etsy, where you can get a set of stick­ers to bring these char­ac­ters into your world.

Italian illustrator and graphic designer Lia Tuia draws a cast of charming characters that resemble folk art illustrations. The decorative scenes seem like they have a larger story to tell.
