Aries ♈︎ Izabela Dudzik
A potential to pave the way. Strength, focus and energy - you have it all. Don't take any steps back, but sometimes slow down, take a deep breath and think about your next move. People don't necessarily like to stop you - but don't use it against them, because we are all a herd that needs a Ram battling through obstacles and adversities.
You have the power to carry the ones in need and make things possible for them. With your sense of the surroundings, you have a perfect set of abilities to uncover what is not visible to most.

The author of Aries graphic, Izabela Dudzik is an illustrator who strongly identifies herself with the potato, which is why she has recently moved to the city of Poznań, where potatoes are treated exceptionally. Nevertheless, she dreams of moving closer to the sea one day, even though there is no such gastronomic connection anymore.
Although she graduated in graphic design, on a daily basis she deals mainly with illustration and is also happy to work with orders related to design. Iza had the opportunity to work with brands such as Wedel, Asus, Nike, Newsweek, Puro Hotels, Danone, BnpParibas and Volvo. Most often, her works can be seen in the form of press illustrations in magazines. In her free time, she likes to practice cheeky laziness with her cats, travel, eat and learn new things.
The inspiration for creating the board was mainly the eyes of Aries, which is not my zodiac sign, but as an animal, I have always been fascinated by the rams. When I was a child, I was afraid to look into the eyes of these animals. I was concerned about the horizontal placement of their rectangular pupils. I was convinced they could hypnotize.
Today I know that these pupils help herbivorous victims to notice an impending threat, thanks to their wider viewing angles, and they have little to do with hypnosis. Still, childhood imaginations became a good pretext for expanding the image of Aries as the demonic ruler of the mind. I also opted for a different, horizontal composition of illustrations to complete the whole of this horizontal inspiration.
It's easy to admit that it is you Iza who hypnotized us with your work. Let this trance continue! Check out Iza's Behance.
