Hestia Cerasi
Hestia Cerasi is a new illustrator with a focus on digital illustrations. She specialises in horror and fantasy based illustrations and typography. In the past few years, Cerasi has developed her signature art style, “candygore” which is a distortion of familiar and nostalgic items into more of a horror focused direction. Cerasi's illustrations have recently taken a more autobiographical turn but still with fantastical elements to them.
Napalm Music Video – This music video was created in Cerasi's second year to accompany Zheani's song 'Napalm'. All the animation is original and created by Hestia Cerasi.
This print was based on tarot cards and the idea of “Death” being a physical entity. This illustration was entirely created on Procreate over the course of a few days.
A Hate Letter to Nostalgia 1 – The first page in a two page publication. This illustration serves to highlight Cerasi's biggest fears when she was a child. From left to right: “No face” dolls; poison ivy; skeletons; centipedes vampires; the were-rabbit in Wallace and Gromit and Doctor Who's weeping angels.
A Hate Letter to Nostalgia 2 – The second page in a two page publication. This illustration serves to highlight Cerasi's biggest fears when she was a child. From top to bottom: the face stealer from “Avatar the Last Airbender” and a werewolf from ”Ben 10”.
Identity Crisis – One of Cerasi's favourite illustrations from her Final Major Project “Mouton, tu es ou?”. This piece serves to represent the feeling of dissociation and identity crisis stemming from being adopted.
