Tosha Albor   Primordial Expression inspiration

These amazingly powerful, experimental drawings and paintings are the creations of Tosha Albor. Tosha is a visual artist born in Manila and currently based in San Francisco. She completed a BTEC in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK. In her work she embrasses the act of construction and deconstruction, with the addition of mark-making and free flowing narratives being another important factor driving her paintings. See more of her work on her site toshaalbor.com

Entrancing Graphic Mandalas   Anai Greog inspiration

These entrancing colourful symmetrical patterns are the work of Romanian graphic artist Ania Greog. Greog’s work was first inspired by mandalas, which she discovered through the work of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Ania started to experiment and develop her individual graphic style during her studies in psychology at university. Patternbank love the way she plays with intricate geometric forms to create a powerful mix of colour and pattern. See more of her work on her tumblr site.
