There is something about cats and their carefree life that puts a smile on our faces every time we witness it. This effect even translates to art as illustrations made by an artist known as Jinodae show.
Jinodae creates minimalistic illustrations of carefree cats living their best life. Their works feature black and white engaged in activities like snoozing, cleaning themselves, rolling on their backs, or observing the world that surrounds them.
Despite the lack of detail, these illustrations are strangely satisfying and captivating, making the viewer feel like they can put together the pieces of the scene that were left out.
In a recent interview with Bored Panda, Jinodae explained that they didn’t always have cats as their primary inspiration.
