Zara Picken is an illustrator based in the UK.

Her bold style incorporates vibrant colours, geometric forms and subtle texture. She enjoys playing with highlights and shadows to create her striking layered compositions. Blurring the line between computer and paper-cut art, Zara works digitally to deliver concise concepts with strong visual impact.

Zara works with a diverse range of international clients, creating illustrations for editorial, publishing and advertising.

In her spare time, Zara works on her archive project Modern Illustration (a history of illustration of print c.1950-1975.)
