Inspired by the burning hot days on the sand in Rio. When you’re in a new place, you step on their land and under their sun. Experiencing their culture and the way they do life. The skin feels a little different on your skin in each place and here it feels nice.
Bringing the sun to you.
Adrianne Dimitrakakis is the artist behind Atlas The Collective.
Based in Byron Bay, her artwork has progressed from
minimal vintage style maps into colour and texture-filled
large pieces.
Inspired from alluring places around the world and all things discovered while on her travels; textured walls,
fruit stands, old signage and many collected coasters and vintage matchbooks. For the love of things worn with a past life and that
tell a story of time. The vintage aesthetic provokes thought of the many places we’ve passed in order to get to where we’re going and also those places yet to be discovered. They are out there, waiting to be found.
Often traveling for work in her previous design role with a surf company with photoshoots and surf trips, It saw her travel to
some beautiful remote islands. She would document her finds and illustrate maps of the remote archipelagos and travel destinations.
With the storytelling of travel and the search for dreamy waves in mind for her job - this progressed into more and Atlas was born.
She aims to bring the sun to you and remind us of those simples pleasures abroad; a true keepsake from your travels and a reminder to keep exploring, on land and water.
