Illustrating the Punny Side of Words and Sayings: Surreal and Minimalistic Doodles by Nadia Tolstoy

0

Nadia (previously featured), an interior architect and artist from Sweden, creates humorous and imaginative doodles that depict the literal or alternative meanings of English words.

Prior to starting her Instagram account, Nadia had no plans to share her artwork online. However, during a bout of illness, she began doodling in her sketchbook as a way to pass the time. This is how her series of surreal doodles, known as “surrealians,” came to be.
