Anja Bartelt is a Berlin based freelance illustrator and graphic designer. She studied Visual Communication at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, and since graduating has produced work for numerous magazines and children’s books.
Her work is inspired by everyday situations that she translates into whimsical, soft colour toned images with a glimpse of humour. Anja digitally cuts out shapes in order to achieve a collage aesthetic. “In my stylistic approach I am looking to maintain the analogue in the digital by using mixed media techniques and layers of texture” Anja explains. If the message of the piece she is creating is the key, Anja reduces her colour palette and works more boldly with simpler shapes. Yet, if the piece is about a certain feeling “there cannot be enough details, colours and textures“.
In the future Anja is interested in getting to know more about Riso printing, so will be taking part in a workshop in order to learn how to bring the technique to her practice, with the aim of creating a zine.
