Sylvain Pfister

Hello! I'm Sylvain Pfister, a creative mind based in Switzerland. Since childhood, drawing and painting have been integral parts of my life. Over the years, I've ventured into various artistic disciplines and had the opportunity to showcase my drawings and paintings in several exhibitions. Alongside this, I pursued graphic design training, which profoundly influenced and transformed my creative process. My artistic practice revolves around typography, decorative design, and illustration. I enjoy blending traditional ornamentation with contemporary elements, drawing inspiration from artists like Alphonse Mucha, street art, Flemish primitives, and hip-hop culture. My approach is driven by passion and free from the constraints of these diverse influences. I work with both traditional techniques and modern tools, such as Affinity Designer. For several years, I've been collaborating with Affinity, creating tutorials and design showcases for various purposes. Now, at Envato, I'm excited to share this tutorial on how to infuse an authentic ornamental feel into your designs. I hope you'll find some useful tips and tricks that inspire you to experiment with new tools and create artwork that truly reflects your unique style.
