Pelikan Baba is a Polish visual artist whose transient practice primarily moves between Edinburgh and her hometown of Wrocław, focusing on murals, tattooing, and painting.
Illustration serves as a foundation and bridge between disciplines. Created for print, animation, tattoos, or murals, her work emphasises symbolism and storytelling through bold shapes and colours.
Her visual language draws influence from the Superflat movement, urban culture, nature, and folklore.
Her tattoo practice began in 2017 through a traditional apprenticeship in Edinburgh and has been continuously developing her craft since. Working across mixed styles, she is drawn to strong colours, bold linework, and patterns inspired by cubism as well as traditional and neotraditional tattooing.
