Art

Agata Wierzbicka.

I’m not sure how to explain my new love Agata Wierzbicka’s art. Maybe it has something to do with her use of sketchy lines and pastel colours, giving her work that unfinished quality that somehow makes me want to see more. Since discovering her work only a couple of weeks ago, I have already saved a catalogue on Pinterest – it was love at first sight, I tell you.

Agata is a Warsaw based freelance interdisciplinary designer. Combing design and art, she mainly draws digitally but loves using acrylic, oil and pencil, and mixing techniques.

When you find out the photographer we’re presenting to you to today is named Amaal Said, you’d appreciate my pun-ny title more.

Amaal Said

(There’s Amaal – a majority of her photography subjects are her friends.)

Amaal Said is 19. She’s gorgeous. She’s talented. This Danish-born Somali young woman is both a poet and photographer, which proves that theory that creative manifestations come in multiples (is that a real theory?)

I first discovered Amaal’s work via this interview with Dynamic Africa.
