Phaedra Crespi

 
 

Phaedra Crespi is an illustrator and architect based in Athens, with heritage from both Greece and New Zealand. In her watercolour illustrations, she uses the cityscape as her primary artistic inspiration. Urban life and its characters become the root of her work as she transforms them into renditions that are at times humorous, but at others pointed in their political or cultural commentary.

Crespi studied architecture at the universities of Newcastle and Edinburgh. Her architectural training sparked an interest in visual communication and helped her to develop her visual language in illustration. In 2015 she attended a short illustration course at Central Saint Martins School in London and now works as a freelance illustrator, artist and architect. She has collaborated with a number of urban magazines for editorial illustrations and cover art.
