“I feel the most inspired by music,” shared Feighan in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog. “I’m a huge fan of Brian Wilson, his music from the mid 60s-early 70s is incredible. I’m also into tapestries and weavings from central and South America, that’s been inspiring a lot of my color and design lately.”

His aim with his work (whatever the medium) is to create a certain vibe—transporting the viewer or listener to another place altogether. “I always want to try and take people out of their current space or mindset and put them somewhere new,” he explains. “I want my work to feel familiar, but fresh and a bit strange. When I started making this artwork I used to say that I was trying to create a world that I would like to live in.”

His tip to other aspiring creatives? Keep working. “Don’t let yourself get down or stressed about too much in your work, if you have ideas keep trying to make them happen,” he stresses. “The biggest lesson I think I’ve learned is just to trust my own ideas and concepts and to work as hard as I can to execute them. It’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and it’s always important to remember to come back to your own concepts.”

Below you’ll find examples of his tropical collage work.

The New York-based Artist mixes illustration, design, photography, and architecture to create unique collages that are full to the brim with patterns, textures, and colors. “I spent many years painting and drawing and occasionally collaging but I must say I didn’t throw myself into collage until a few years ago, well into my two decades of being a working artist,” she admitted in an interview with Metal Magazine. “So no, I didn’t do much collage of any kind while in school. It is still relatively young and new in my oeuvre.”

Her transition to collage art proved to be the right choice. The renowned artist has worked with giants like Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Le Monde; and her work has garnered awards from The Society of Publication Design, American Illustration, and Communication Arts.

Originally an acrylic painter, a bicycle accident forced her to find a way to make art that didn’t rely on just one hand and a brush. Now working primarily with scraps of paper, she makes complicated collages that have attracted clients like Philadelphia Magazine, Manifest, and The New York Times, proving that her change of direction was worthwhile.

Explaining her creative process with Ape on the Moon, Rio relayed: “I try to keep a variety of large colored paper that I tape against the wall as a backdrop. The perspective of my shot depends on the sketch, so there’s always a period of readjusting paper pieces, lights, and umbrella defusers to find the predetermined angle and focal point. Once I’ve found the sweet spot, I’ll shoot with my Canon Rebel T3. Then for curiosity’s sake, I’ll shoot with the lights hitting a different angle.”

“It may seem like a lot of time and energy for one illustration but it feels like play” she admitted. “There’s so much opportunity to get your mind off of things and forget about your surroundings.” Take a look at some of her playful creations in the gallery below.

Luckily, her unique collage art, that’s bright, sparkly, and shiny, caught the eyes of thousands, and with followers like Sarah Jessica Parker and Miley Cyrus, her Instagram page quickly blew up. “My art is either a story I want to live for myself, something I have witnessed or a life I want to live, emotions play a major part in my work,” she writes on her website. “I am in a habit of giving my heart to any piece I create.”

And so, even without a formal art education, Shakeel has managed to capture the attention of fans and brands alike, collaborating with giants like Barneys’ New York, Huda Beauty, and Nike. Crowned by Forbes as the “Original Crystal Artist” prepare to see more of this young creative, if you haven’t already.

In the meanwhile, take a look at some of her sparkly creations.

“Working with paper and scissors her portfolio references the Dada movement of the early 20th Century and the digital manipulations of the present day,” her website reads.

Her previous projects include cover art for TIME Magazine and Penguin Classics, and special projects with Nike Basketball and The Atlantic Magazine.

The artist loves animal portraiture, fashion and everything that is beautiful. Her latest work is “tinkering” with animals resulting to beautiful distorted art.
