Ornamental Visual Worlds Between Art Deco and Psychedelia.

Riso ink and ink brushes become ornamental, fluid, and vibrantly colored. Lydia Silver brings 20th-century printing techniques into the digital realm.

Based in Llandudno, North Wales, Lydia is a rising star in UK illustration having served as in-house illustrator for the London Standard and ES Magazine. She’s used to tight deadlines, works with key brands across the time zones. and clients appreciate her flexibility and positive attitude. Since graduating from Hereford College of Arts in 2023 with First Class honours in Illustration and Animation, Lydia has honed a style that is ornamental, symmetrical at times, yet full of fluidity. It’s a look that’s all her own, grown from a wealth of references Lydia keeps in her journals and sketchbooks. Her extensive influences include the Art Deco movement, a wide range of music and film from the 1960s to the 80s, and illustrations from magazines during the same period such as OZ, Jackie, Petticoat and Honey.

Approach

Lydia works digitally but with a specific focus on recreating the look of vintage printing techniques, such as risograph and lithograph, as well as the grain, fibre and texture of 20th century paper stocks. Using specially chosen inky brushes, she creates flowing compositions ornamented with intricate detail.

Key software

Procreate with brushes by TrueGrit.

Style

Art Deco influences are prominent in the style and structure of Lydia’s work, with psychedelic colouring, decorative elements and hints of Bohemian and maximalist sensibilities. Balanced against its vintage vibe, her drawing style has an up-to-date feel, lifting her work above pure nostalgia.
