Illustration: “Runway inspired, artist Terrence Francois said. “Sheer, aquamarine, stripped dress. Cognac leather booths and gloves. I used markers and pencils to complete this illustration.”
For local artist, Terrence Francois, art is an intimate visual conversation that anyone can be apart of.
“To me art is a form of expression, like a language,” Francois said.
“And what’s so dope about art is that it can visually speak out to any pair of eyes or ears, and have a conversation.”
The self-taught artist created a few exclusive fashion illustrations for The Miami Times.
The artist describes his artwork as symbolic.
“When painting, I try to use the smoothest texture canvases for smoother results,” Francois said.
“My mediums are acrylic, water colors and mix media. For my illustrations, they typically capture a beauty.”
Francois went on to explain that he hopes that his fashion illustrations of women of color would be viewed as inspiring, chic and stylish more than anything.
