Lovelycadaver (Gabriella Cardozo) is a New York City artist from Staten Island. Focusing on illustration, she creates morbidly romantic escapism portraits that navigate life with wide eyes and anxiety.

Her creative process often begins with portraits but fearlessly branches into watercolor, ink, bookmaking, and crochet. She is not afraid to try something new to bring her ideas to life, working from whatever small corner she calls home. Spreading materials and tablets across any available surface, Cardozo uses every inch of her space to build her unique and multifaceted artistic world.
