Greek graphic designer and illustrator Meni Chatzipanagiotou creates meticulously beautiful, nature-inspired ink drawings.

Meni works in both traditional and digital media using fine black pens and experimental mediums/techniques. Her work is inspired by nature and the myriad of botanicals and animals that inhabit it. Her subject matter ranges from fantastical mountain backdrops and whimsical forest scenes to scenic typography and animal/human characters.

We just love the tinge of fantasy to her style and the way she combines animals and their surrounds into one mystical, detailed piece of art.

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” —Rachel Carson, Silent Spring Three of these are available in the shop menisart.etsy.com , I ship worldwide/International. . . . . #mountains #tree #scenery #landscape #river #tattoo #night #wood #nature #space #day #handmade #woodart #iblackwork #moon #graphicgang #graphicdesign #graphicroozane #Simplycooldesign #thedesigntip #designspiration #supportart #illustrate #artsanity #illustration #drawing #sketch #blackwork #blackandwhite #etsy

Prune me, From branch to branch, And water me to grow safe and sound. But don’t forget, that if you leave me, I will go ireful and I will embattle my existence. Like a tree with no voice I will roar, And from my roots I will unscrew. And I will feel naked before my time, like the trees in the fall. And I will bleed with agony and grief, ghostly at the night. Falling stars will chant to me, For it is the winter that I fear and the frostiness that will spell me. Remember… If you cherish me, I will blossom, And I will spread my leafy wings, Take you in my arms and nourish you, as you did me. Remember… Copyright © Meni Chatzipanagiotou 2017
