ABOUT

The latest wave of arts graduates face challenges greater than any that have come before, so we partnered with Creative Review on a project called Rebirth to make that brave step into a new and fulfilling career feel less daunting.

Rebirth is a collection of five images with a mission to provide the next generation of creatives with hope for a brighter future. They portray the magic that can emerge from the darkest of places and signify the bravery and potential for a new start.

Studio PI’s Founder Sachini Imbuldeniya says:

‘Arts education is about discovery It’s where you find your creative voice, and for too many that’s been taken away. But we’re already seeing the volume of commissions increasing as we emerge into a different world.

We’ve all faced chal­lenges – whether loneliness, managing childcare, anxiety or depression, struggling to make ends meet, or losing loved ones to Covid – and it can be hard to find a creative spark among all that. But our artists have been determined to succeed and have invested themselves into creating fresh and dynamic work.’

The illustrators featured include: Alexis Tsegba, Janice Chang, Sneha Shanker, Ngadi Smart and Frieda Ruh.
