Pia Van Ravestein

I am Pia Van Ravestein (aka Ravenari), an illustrator and artist who works primarily in ink, watercolour pencil, acrylic and pastel. My spirituality as an animist, and my mental disorders (post traumatic stress disorder / dissociative identity disorder) heavily inform my artwork; through which I seek to both express my love of nature, and my darker relationship with themes relating to trauma, health and traumatic childhood experiences. My work tells the hidden stories of many, bringing forth into the light what is so often hidden in darkness.
