About the Artist: "When the lasagna content in my blood gets low, I get mean. Besides that I am a 20 year old art student from Sweden who prefer to dress in black."-Tilly
Statement: "My passion in life is drawing - an obsession I tend to practice during the night. Most frequently I work with a mechanical pencil accompanied by white charcoal, and there has often come to be a dark sentiment over my pieces. Simply put: I'm obsessed by the lust of obscurity." -Tilly
About the Work/Connections: Tilly has mastered darkness in her work. She takes images, such as this, an image of a friends cat, and transforms them into creepy, gloomy masterpieces. The high value contrast and third eye on the cat move this from touching portrait to a slightly disturbing, moody piece. Her work has subtleties that push it them into the zones of horror and macabre, and she truly has a style that is all her own.
