Flora and fauna collide in these intricate images by the talented Ola Liola. Rather than simply paint in the fur, feathers and skin of each respective animal in these renderings, Liola has instead layered on nature-inspired patterns on top of each creature, giving them a highly sophisticated and surreal look. If that wasn’t enough, Liola also has a preference for rosy-hued palettes, giving her animals a whimsical pink, purple and red color and ultimately providing viewers with an ocular experience they’ve never encountered before.
Also worth mentioning is how realistic each Ola Liola animal painting is. Even with the addition of ink floral patterns, Liola never neglects lighting and value when she paints the watercolor portions of her illustrations. As a result, her images are stuck somewhere between the tangible and pure imagination.
