Ilka Mészely – composer of clean shapes, delicate textures, tender colors.

Ilka is a Budapest based illustrator and designer. She studied textile design at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, graduating in 2012. Since then, she has been working independently in her studio, creating artworks for a variety of clients and working on her private art projects as well. Most of her works include both handmade elements and digital techniques; she loves experimenting with traditional materials, such as ink, colored pencils and markers. She balances simplicity with details, paying special attention to lines and textures. People, architecture and travel inspire her; when she is not drawing, she likes to get out in the nature with her family and collect mushrooms together.
