]]> The characters Fotini Tikkou creates will make you wish they were real so you could be friends with them. Tikkou uses art to express self-acceptance, self-love, and body positivity. The blend of pencils and watercolors creates soft art that warms the viewer’s heart. When she’s not drawing people, she paints flowers and landscapes or creates ceramic cups and plates.

Tikkou currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. She got her degree at the School of Fine Arts in Athens in 2009 and has been doing creative work ever since. Her illustrations are simple and minimalist, but they convey a strong message. If you’re all about supporting artists whose work revolves around topics like diversity, acceptance, motherhood, and self-esteem, you’re going to love Tikkou’s Instagram page. She’s approaching 200k followers, so join them to see why they are choosing to stay and follow the work of this talented lady.

We tried to pick several of our favorite posts from her page and you can see them below, but there’s so much more amazing work that you’ll have to explore yourself!

I’ve opened up several times lately about how stressful and consuming these past few months have been and how miserable they made me feel.. I missed most holidays these year, almost every weekend was booked with work. I didn’t get a chance to enjoy the Easter holidays as several deadlines were keeping me tied down. But most importantly I have missed a lot of moments with my daughter. It was definetely one of the most hectic periods of my life but the lesson learned is that your mind and body have limits and once you cross them, things go really bad. These days most of my deadlines have come to an end and I am regaining much more free time and I already feel like a new woman. It’s easy to forget to take care of ourselves from time to time but it’s inportant to be able to shut down and reset. This weekend my only plan is to enjoy my family, the sunny days and to just breathe after such a long time. Hope you enjoy a great weekend💕 #selfcare #love#illustration #illustrate#gouache#wip#art#artist#instaart #artsanity#artistsoninstagram #fotinitikkouillustration
