Nearly-nude ladies practise yoga in Justyna Szczepankiewicz’s charming illustrations

Date
29 September 2015

Polish illustrator Justyna Szczepankiewicz’s cheeky illustrations see sequences of bare-chested ladies elegantly practising yoga poses and aerobic exercises. Other geometric and expressive characters are set against beige backgrounds with numerous shapes protruding out of their heads.

A wonderful collision of lines and textural spray-like colour, Justyna’s playful work steers clear of becoming garish or lewd with subtle details to keep her work interesting. Simple, fun and silly, the almost-naked ladies keep it clean with translucent panties but it’s the nonchalant expressions of these repeated characters that make her illustrations all the more endearing.
