self portrait illustration by cybele
Cybèle is a New York City–based illustrator whose work blends the precision of vector art with the expressive spirit of traditional media. Raised across continents, she draws on a richly layered background of international experiences, along with a deep appreciation for nature, travel, literature, and fashion.

Vectors—with their flat color and crisp edges—offered a natural extension of her preferred traditional media like ink and gouache. As tablets evolved, so did her process, allowing more of the hand to come through in her lines, echoing the easy flow of brushwork. Cybèle embraces the uniquely digital quality of vectors while pushing their boundaries through subtle textures, seamless patterns, and gestural marks. Her illustrations are created entirely by hand using vector brushes on a tablet—no AI involved, just a stylus, intention, and years of practice behind every line.

In her free time, Cybèle heads out for a walk—sometimes aimless, sometimes deliberate, always observant. Whether exploring city streets or natural landscapes, these dérives are both ritual and adventure, offering space to unwind and gather inspiration. She often photographs discoveries along the way, collecting textures and forms that find their way into future work.
