Making editorial art requires multiple hurdles. The artwork needs to both convey a concept or story, and appeal visually. It’s not an easy balance to strike, and we’re in awe of artists who makes it look easy.
Myriam Wares is one of those artists. The Montreal-based illustrator has created editorial art for some of the biggest brands on the planet, including The New York Times, Quanta, The Verge, Barron’s, The Atlantic, Airbnb, BBC, Nautilus, and many, many others.
It’s clear her work is sought out, and it’s easy to see why. In her illustrations, we see a depth of light and space, but also of emotion.
Quiet moments play out in elegant silence. Peaceful scenes in the countryside resonate on a number of levels. Complex themes are unlocked and made simple through her deft hand and eye.
Below are some of our favorites from Wares, who has granted us permission to use her lovely illustrations. See more of her lovely work on her website.
