Cover Art 2017

Edition One

Cover Art by Maria Chamakala

Maria is a second year Arts/Law student, and a lover of ironic art, both pretentious and otherwise. She is also an amateur sculptor and an intermediate drawer, naively living in the illusion that a law career will provide the balance between helping lives, travelling and having the time to peruse the world of art. Surprisingly, this was her first time using digital art.

 

Edition Two

Cover Art by Matilda Parolini

Matilda is a Masters of Architecture student at Monash University and an illustrator. She combines several colours, textures and elements of symbolism in her work. While being a keen artist in high school fueled her passion for creativity, she decided to pursue studies in Architecture. She manages to find herself turning to digital illustration because of its limitless possibilities, as another outlet of creativity which is quite different to her current studies.

Edition Three

Cover Art by Caitlin Brown

Caitlin Brown is a Monash Fine Art student who enjoys dabbling in many different disciplines. She takes inspiration from both the world around her, and her inner self. She’s currently taking time off to work in the MSA, but no doubt about it nothing can keep her away from her art. You can follow what she’s up to on instagram @dankest_1. The cover features Vedran Smajlović sitting with his cello in the ruins of Bosnia’s National Library in Sarajevo ‘92. Against the challenge of sniper bullets whirling around him, the renowned cellist became widely known for his classical song that echoed in the war-torn heart of sorrow. In one of the longest sieges in the history of modern warfare, Smajlović each day commemorated the victims of the war with music; a delicacy that presented a hope that words could perhaps never convey. Smajlović represented a reclaiming of humanity in a city ravaged by brutality.

     Edition Four

Cover Art by Keely Simpson-Bull

Keely is a third year engineering student who enjoys art as a hobby. She enjoys freehand drawing (especially dot rendering) and has very recently developed a liking to colouring her art with Copic markers. Although passionate about art in school, she decided to pursue a career in engineering and continually enjoys the creative outlet that drawing has to offer.
