This digital illustration blends classical elegance with a minimalist, personal twist.

This illustration project reimagines the timeless elegance of vintage cameo jewelry through a modern lens. Using Adobe Illustrator, I created a vector self-portrait based on a personal profile photo. The portrait focuses on organic line work to capture facial structure, hair, and accessories with expressive simplicity.


Style & Technique

The illustration balances minimalism and detail—every line is intentional, drawn to express texture and form without excess. The portrait is enclosed within a decorative frame, hand-drawn in the style of a traditional cameo medallion, echoing historical references while keeping it clean and contemporary.


Personal & Digital Fusion

This piece was an exploration of identity and storytelling through shape, form, and style. By combining observational drawing with digital tools, I aimed to bridge classical art motifs with today’s vector-based illustration techniques.
