Aspa Gika
Artist + Owner
CREATIVE PROCESS
Aspa's creative process draws on traditional techniques, utilizing the fluidity of watercolor, the depth of inks, and the vibrancy of acrylics. These elements are intricately woven into digital collages, where altered vintage scientific illustrations rejuvenate with a fresh perspective. This intricate fusion has become a signature aspect of her art, continuously evolving into more focused and complex pieces over the years.
Aspa's commitment to both traditional painting techniques and digital editing skills has resulted in a distinctive style that captivates audiences worldwide. Collectors and art enthusiasts often describe Aspa's work as uplifting and imbued with a sense of happiness, a reflection of the vibrant and joyful elements of nature she portrays.
The STUDIO GIKA
After 15 years of designing and art directing for several successful brands, in early 2015, Aspa refocused her career from full-time Art Director / Senior Graphic Designer to the creation of STUDIO GIKA. With her passion for painting, and particularly inspired by nature and travel, her present body of work includes paintings for art prints, murals, textiles, and stationery. A four-time MINTED award winner, Aspa's work has graced notable platforms like Minted, earning her acclaim within the industry. Beyond the canvas, Aspa channels her artistic energy into writing and illustrating a picture book, a project she finds deeply rewarding. As the owner of STUDIO GIKA, she continues to expand her influence in the art world, with aspirations to collaborate with interior designers and art curators in the hospitality sector.
