Womankind Magazine is unlike any other women’s magazine — they don’t deliver beauty tips or unsuccessful weight loss diets. Founded in Australia, the cultural magazine is all about women empowerment, giving ladies the confidence they need to examine and explore bold ideas. The ad-free newsstand lures women to read and discuss concepts, such as sociology, philosophy, or psychology.

The first issue’s cover of the magazine featured Simone de Beauvoir, and three years since its official launch the publication has managed to gain more and more ground. Now, the magazine is distributed throughout the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, the U.S., and Canada.

The Greek Visual Designer, Charis Tsevis, had the honor and opportunity to create all the magazine covers released, in a series of wonderful illustrations. Every drawing features women from different parts of the world, depicted in stunning mosaic-style art pieces, made entirely of colorful traditional patterns. The amazing illustrations all follow a theme.

The unique artistic style represents a fascinating journey, enchanting the reader’s spirit to immerse in a vivid and provoking illustrated world in which they can meditate and reflect upon a new experience that is meant to craft a better place for women’s creative vision.

We found this beautiful cover collection of Womankind Magazine and we want to share this magical photomosaic selection.
