'Multi-value illustration' - THE EMBASSY OF ILLUSTRATION presents Stefanie HILGARTH

"And so I just slipped into it - it's fun to work as an illustrator. I'm originally from Graz, where I also completed my first degree in industrial design. After my internships in Hamburg and Milan, I moved to Vienna in 2006 to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. In collaboration with Caroline Seidler, my portfolio quickly became more extensive, my customer base larger and my work more varied. Today we work across Europe for advertising agencies, publishing houses and institutions in the arts and culture sector. My work is not only published in print or digital form, I have also "illustrated" several films as information films, explanatory videos, white boards, trend sketching.

My style is established, and for each briefing I manage to develop a special visual language for the customer within my own style. An illustration, a theme-related image that stands for itself. At its best, it is clever, charming, subtly discusses essentials and is memorable. My colors and lines are fun, explain, tell and bear the responsibility of visualizing a topic, content or product" Stefanie Hilgarth, illustrator.

Stefanie Hilgarth draws the excitement of her illustrations from the variety of her training and assignments: the topics are treated in three dimensions, not just visually but also in terms of content. Color areas and perspectives that initially seem naive casually demand the viewer's attention and, on closer inspection, subtly tell the message and content. "This creates double pleasure, a multi-value visualization." Caroline Seidler, Die Botschaft der Illustration (=The Embassy of Illustration), Vienna.

Stefanie Hilgarth works for clients such as HAMTIL & SÖHNE Vienna and klimaaktiv mobil / BMK / Grunde, energy suppliers and architectural projects, packaging, museums such as the Weltmuseum, the TMW Technical Museum Vienna, the Vienna Museum and the AZW, the University of Applied Arts, Lower Austrian State Exhibitions, Amnesty International, as well as for retail chains, with advertising agencies, design studios, direct customers and publishers.
