Australian illustrator who works with Beyoncé and the Kardashians

He has provided 'faceless' illustrations for the Kardashians, Beyoncé, Gigi Hadid and Oprah Winfrey to name a few.

And Sydney-based artist Aaron Favaloro told The Daily Telegraph's Confidential on Tuesday, that he never set out to collaborate with a celebrity. 

'It has all happened organically. One thing has led to another,' the 33-year-old said.

'I have never had a plan with the celebrities I've worked with.

'Either a celebrity has reached out to me personally or it has been a family member that has been a friend.'

Aaron's illustrations, which range from $600 AUD into the thousands, are 'faceless' in that several features, such as the nose and eyes are missing. 

Aaron's artworks are not only popular on Instagram, but have also been featured on television.  

His commissioned piece for Kylie Jenner features in the background of her office, in an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  

Speaking to Parlour X in May last year, Aaron revealed which celebrities have surprised him the most with their reactions to his work. 

'I think having a picture of Oprah holding my work was insane, and then also Gigi Hadid letting me know that my work hangs in the entryway to her New York apartment was mind-blowing!'   

Aaron also revealed his advice for budding fashion illustrators, in the wide-ranging interview.

He encouraged them to 'never say no' to a job, no matter how terrifying, as every step leads to the next'.

Aaron is currently the artist residence at West Hotel in Sydney's Barangaroo.

Up until the end of August, hotel guests can receive a custom artwork as part of its Meet The Creatives initiative.
