In my infinite internet galaxy wanderings, I ran by chance to these fantastic illustrations by young and extremely talented Achraf Amiri.

Born in Brussels in 1988, Achraf Amiri is a young creative-minded person who loves to express himself in various artistic ways. Studied at Sint-Lukas Brussels, Amiri is Art Director and Graphic Designer, especially Illustrator, currently living and working in London, UK.

Inspired by the fashion and by the world around him, Amiri interpret always his works with the self-reflection. Going on the macabre to the pure irony, Amiri’s illustrations are more than simple drawings. They procure real emotions.

Maybe is he a wizard, a little bit morbid, a little bit romantic, a little bit sexual … His illustrations have the impact of a magic potion that effects to the senses of heart, transporting all people in his fairy-fashion world, overflowed by fantasy full impulses.
