Introducing The “Slime Series”: I Work With Slime To Create Hyper-Real, Hand-Drawn Artworks (9 Pics)

by Patrick Penrose Published Nov 15, 2025

My name is Gabriella Anouk and I’m a 27-year-old artist from the UK. In April 2020, during the first lockdown, I started exploring art using household objects, popular emojis and the fascinating texture of slime, while sharing my artistic journey and process on TikTok.

Bringing a surreal and sensual new twist to ordinary items, such as fruit and vegetables, my hyper-real art explores attraction, revulsion and the physicality of everyday objects. Each drawing can take up to 100 hours to complete and is painstakingly hand-drawn.

My ‘Slime Series’ will launch in London on 25 January 2022. Originals and limited-edition fine art prints will be available to buy from www.gabriellaanouk.com on 28 January 2022, and I will also be launching NFTs.

Here are five artworks from the series, plus a couple of me in the studio – I hope you like them!
