These Lady Gaga portraits were rendered by Argentinian artist, Adrian Valencia. The artist chose the super star's most iconic looks to profile and recreate in digital form. The series features Gaga as Jo Calderone, with her blue bob, wrapped in caution tape and punked-out with soda can curlers. The images are sweet and spunky, while relatable. The authenticity of Lady Gaga's eccentric style and behaviour is perfectly depicted through these subtle and minimalist illustrations.
Valencia graduated as a graphic designer, then worked as a self-taught illustrator. In 2000, the artist moved to London and became a promising up-and-coming talent. His commissioned work has reached through America and Europe. His clients include American Express, British Airways and Montblanc. His simple and alluring digital technique has driven him to the top of global illustrators.
