Still Moment by Evelina Kvartunaite
This is a digital artwork that I created in the Procreate program. The drawing was inspired by the photograph of Indre Krucaite taken by Monika Markeviciute. The drawing is part of a series of photographs and digital artworks focusing on diversity and human beauty that I have been working on for around eight months now. I was inspired by Indre’s positivity and her advocacy for bodies with disabilities. I found that drawing her really gave me more insight into the details, the soft approach, and the strength that is so powerful and sometimes unseen. I find it so important to approach difficult subjects with creativity, love, and kindness.
