About Pia Lilenthal:
Pia Lilenthal is a contemporary street mix-media artist. She combines stencil work with multiple layers and techniques in the backgrounds. It could be watercolor, acrylic paint, screen printing, collages of stamps. Or a mix of them all. Portraits are a common motif, often women, containing multiple details in the different layers.
Her background as a graphic designer and long experience of making sketches digitally comes handy when planning compositions and different color combinations. The final artwork though, is always made by hand.
