KOBE GROSSMAN
illustration
I was born and raised in the Philippines and now I live in Atlanta, Georgia where the city’s energy and diversity continue to inspire my creative practice. In my free time, I collect vinyl and CDs, curating a library of sounds that inspire my visual work. Outside of illustration, I am deeply drawn to books, movies, music and fashion. Literature and cinema sharpen my sense of narrative, fashion inspires the detailing in my work, and music fuels my imagination with atmosphere and drama
My work explores the harmony between elegance and the subconscious mind. I’m deeply inspired by surrealism, oddities, and the tension between beauty and discomfort. My visual voice is marked by dreamlike compositions, and visuals that feel strange, yet oddly harmonious. What makes my illustration unique is its ability to feel both ethereal and grounded
