In this interview with visual artist Elena Pancorbo she talks about her artwork, community, and why tattooing is important to her.
Soft skin tones, silky strands of hair, and the penetrating glances of soul filled eyes, Elena Pancorbo creates portraits that are beautifully depicted in pastel, pencils, and acrylic. In this interview she gives us a look at the lady behind the stunning tattooed illustrations.
Can you talk about your artistic background? How did you get into painting/illustration, and why do you think it resonated with you?
Why did you decide to get tattooed? What did you get and what do they mean to you? Do you think tattoos are transformative?
Are there any artists, films, books, or art movements that really inspire you?
