So I went into illustration additionally, and I realized that what I liked about illustration was what I felt had been missing: <em>expressing something<\/em>. Eventually, I applied for my master\u2019s program in illustration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LH: How would you describe your artistic voice in your own words?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eugenia: <\/strong>I started to find one extreme end of a string, a theme, and I started pulling that string. In the beginning, I started drawing dancers, and I didn\u2019t really know what it meant. I was told that I should draw what I knew, and that\u2019s what came out.<\/p>\n<p>I started studying dance, I went to a lot of dance shows, and I started getting the sense that there is actually a really beautiful parallel between drawing and choreography. Without words, they could say emotions very clearly, and that really resonated with me. I started finding how I wanted to speak, discovering what I sound like.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest theme was <em>motion<\/em>. What is my filter through which I see things? I look at things through motion. Motion is a way of saying \u201calive.\u201d Motion is life. What I liked about being chosen for this particular project was that it was another way of expressing this idea of motion. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t need to be any more complex than that. This character is in motion\u2014then it\u2019s alive. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EM-Blog-Hero-02.png\" width=\"500\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21900 alignnone size-medium\" style=\"float: right; margin: 20px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EM-Blog-Hero-02.png 2000w, https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EM-Blog-Hero-02-1280x769.png 1280w, https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EM-Blog-Hero-02-980x588.png 980w, https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EM-Blog-Hero-02-480x288.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>LH: How did you come to the final work of art for this project? What was the process like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eugenia: <\/strong>You know, it\u2019s not a niche you think about\u2014<em>life insurance<\/em>\u2014when you think about potential clients. But when I spoke to Life Happens, I really liked this idea that actually, it\u2019s a celebration of life. That is exactly what I feel like my work is about. There\u2019s an intrinsically optimistic energy that I wanted to translate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LH: What were you hoping to convey with your illustrations for Life Happens? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eugenia: <\/strong>I wanted to create characters that weren\u2019t exclusionary. That\u2019s part of the responsibility of making images: You\u2019re creating worlds. It\u2019s about a group of families that coexist together; they\u2019re having joy in a very regular day. The color yellow is joy to me, it\u2019s the color of the sun. When I see it, it feels like a day that you don\u2019t want to end\u2026 those summer days that are just perfect and you think, \u201cI wish this day would last for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>LH: What did you learn about life insurance? Have any of your views about life insurance changed since working on the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eugenia: <\/strong>Life insurance is like a bit of a net, holding those families together. And that\u2019s something you can count on. That\u2019s what I tried to say in this image. Growing up, I think I only heard of life insurance in movies. I never put too much thought into it, but I think that\u2019s because when you\u2019re young, you\u2019re just <em>living<\/em>. As you get older, you can put into focus how much life means to you. As the stakes get higher and your net of people gets bigger\u2026 that\u2019s when <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehappens.org\/life-insurance-101\/\">life insurance<\/a> really starts to make sense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can follow Eugenia on Instagram at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eumiel\/\">@eumiel<\/a>.
