feature: brazilian illustrator willian santiago draws inspiration from mid-century art

Meet Brazilian illustrator Willian Santiago. Santiago’s personal style, as an illustrator, harkens back to mid-century vintage children’s illustrations that also seem to draw inspiration from minimalist graphic design and art deco. In much of his work, Santiago uses geometric shapes and blocks of solid neutral and/or muted colors to demonstrate a shape or silhouette or a mood. In this series of three images, Santiago shares his interpretation of the black women of Southern Brazil.
