IDRIS VAN HEFFEN



Art director /Illustrator / Newtype 🌱

‘In his work, Idris van Heffen (born 1985) reduces visuals to simple lines, shapes and colours. His designs are abstract, yet expressive. His imagery doesn't only show form, but also reflects a rich world of thought. A creative with a love for omitting details and an enthousiasm for mystery and optimism. His illustrations are being used by clients such as Trouw, South Pole, Citizen M, Verve and Buck.’
