Ivan Flores "12 Zodiac Portraits"

These 12 zodiac portraits are cheeky representations of some of the not-so-awesome qualities that each star sign stereotypically possesses. These 4-layer fabric screen prints are coloured based on the element each sign represents: blue for water, orange for earth, yellow for fire, and purple for air. Let’s accept that we’re all bad people that need to work on ourselves and that some of us use astrology to do this self-reflective work. If you’re self-aware, you’ll love these!

60cm x 60cm
