Hello!
My name is Isadora Maríllia, but you can call me zizzy or zizzyza. I'm a Brazilian illustrator, digital artist, and designer.
I try to mix contemporary themes and questions that surround me, in abstract or figurative works, with elements inspired by mid-century illustrations, vintage ads, constructivism compositions, and so many more.
My true passion has always been observing the world and people, so drawing and painting were the ways I found to expand my thoughts and ideas. My current themes evolve: daily life, the impact of technology, and things that could be seen as silly or almost invisible by others. I like to say that my work is “silly but serious art”, proposing the viewers to find by themselves new meanings and similarities to their lives by looking at my pieces. It's a delightful disorientation, but easy to navigate.
Nowadays I work mostly with digital illustration, creating static images or animated GIFs. Traditional tools like paper and pencils also have a space in my practice. I have been keeping sketchbooks for many years filled with ugly and messy sketches preceding some final pieces.
