Visual Narratives

Artist Statement

Amanda M. Franqui

Throughout all of my artwork there are a big variety of mediums that are put into it. Either it being a illustration, painting or a photograph the styles go into dark themes and constant expressive works that'll get you to think. Wondering and figuring out theses images within it's whole meaning. Almost all my work have a cartoony or anime touch to it. My inspiration came from subcultures like goth, punk and emo. Also the first time I ever watched anime as a little kid.

Interpretations of death, sorrow and actions of society are placed and combined into one, revealing mixed feelings. Artists like Alister Dippner ( Imamachinist), Bleedman, and DemiseMan inspired me so much with their sense of creativity that bended my ideas.

Graphic Novel Analysis

The use of visuals have a sense of conjunction with the narrative. This is strongly supported by the graphic novel "5 Centimeters per second" story by Makoto shinkai and art by Yukiko Seike. In most of the panels it mainly focuses on the character's facial profiling and zooms in within anything of importance towards the story line. The art style itself is calm/sweet. Also on some of the panels it shows the environment to show the sense of emotion either it being a crowed train or seeing calm waves coming in. Basically the scale of the images helps the eye see something more.

Lost Friend
