Symmetrical abstract illustration inspired by symbolism and visual cultures from Africa and Asia

AKASH PEEROO

A multi-disciplinary designer exploring storytelling through identity, illustration, and experimental form.

My practice

Every project begins with observation.

I collect fragments of objects, symbols, landscapes, materials and stories, and gradually distil them into a visual language.

The medium changes. The process doesn't.

My practice- visual research. Featuring a seed pod as source of inspiration

RESEARCH

Collecting fragments of visual interests.

STRUCTURE

Building systems from experimentation.

Following the sketch phase, language defines the overall shape and visual layout of the main content.

LANGUAGE

Shaping symbols into a visual language.

Form is the final outcome of the design process- form can be apparel patterns, objects such as ceremonial vases or even spaces.

FORM

Objects, patterns, spaces made tangible.
