Dreamy, light filled apartments, fresh cut
flowers, delicate gold chains;
a world where everything is in its place.
New York-based illustrator Bernadette Pascua has made an art of a certain kind
of lush minimalism.
Pascua’s whimsical fashion illustrations,
collages and photographs set aside extraneous detail and focus on the simple
balance between lines and light.
Using her own work for illustrious clients
such as Elle, Vogue, Dior and Tiffany & Co. alongside found images, film
stills, and splashes of watercolour, Pascua has created a personal sketchbook
of sorts, filled with the sights and colours she finds on her travels.
Ranging between art, films, food, fashion
and literature, the posts on Decade Diary handpick the loveliest parts of life
– whether it’s a Dries Van Noten lucite heel, summer strawberries on toast or a
photography book, you’re sure to be inspired. Who knows, you might even find
yourself digging out your watercolours…
