Daniel Fegalquin

I'm Daniel and I'm an illustrator who enjoys drawing people. My work revolves around culture and identity; my interest in people motivates me to illustrate different stories and I want to use my work to celebrate the colourful differences of humanity. My style isn't set in stone but I'd say I'm influenced by the styles of the early modern period such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. I tend to be playful with my work as I enjoy reinterpreting the real world through expressive lines, shapes and colours.

Even though I'm a very visual person, I also love to

read which is why I'm interested in creating editorial work or taking inspiration from whatever I read be it a book or the news. I enjoy taking ideas and inspiration from texts and turning these into something visual because let's face it, who doesn't like looking at pictures?

Club Kid

Inspired by the New Romantics movement from the 70s and 80s, this piece illustrates the playfulness of the style and expresses the idea of men having the freedom to experiment with their style.
