After the recent collection of romantic illustrations that got really popular with our readers, meet the inspiring set of expressive artworks filled with the contrast of colors, light and darkness, stories and emotions, textures and curves.

All the illustrations in today’s post have been created by Tom Haugomat, an illustrator based in Paris, France. His works have been featured in big publications like XXI, Le Monde, and many others. He also works as an animated film director with Bruno Mangyoku and belongs to the Parisian workshop Messieurs Dame.
