Tara Phillips

I’m a Sydney based illustrator with passion for digital art and hyperrealistic portraiture. Introspection is key to my creative process; often my illustrations are influenced by spur of the moment feelings that resonate with me through music or every day life.

My work is inspired by imagery evoking nostalgia, reflection and the nuances of expression from the human form. A single photograph can have an impact on my artistic direction or fuel the theme(s) behind a piece. My portraits focus on figures suspended in time to create a surreal aesthetic. They often explore aspects of the past blended with contemporary pop culture trends and futuristic themes.
