Hidden Talents: Eijo Ojala

Looking at the work of Estonian illustrator Eiko Ojala, it is hard to believe that a sheet of paper is two-dimensional. Through a play of lines and curves, he draws the viewer into the image and invites it to be read from different angles. Hidden in their simplicity, these illustrations have a dynamic quality that adds to the charm of the style.

The young artist from Tallinn illustrates portraits, nudes, and landscapes with paper collages for magazines and books. They are all carefully controlled concepts that easily become small masterpieces.
