I have been interested in arts since I was a little kid with an insatiable curiosity that guided me in an adventure to explore the magic of creativity with different materials, means, and techniques. Unfortunately, adulting kept my feet on the ground for too long, and for a while, I lost the sparkle in me.
After a Bachelor of Graphic Design in Chile and a Master's degree in film and animation in Korea, I decided to start over again and reignite the sparkle that makes me the happiest.
Now I am a Digital Artist (Character Designer and Illustrator) with a characteristic style balanced between oddness and cuteness. Influenced by Western cartoons and Asian animation; my art can be described as chaotic, alternative, oniric, and misfit. Organic shapes, the flow in the compositions, and the recurrent representation of magical/spiritual, fairy-like scenes and characters are the landmarks of my art pieces. I love to transport the viewers into an unimaginable world where concepts of death and life intertwine.
I'm currently working as an independent artist, participating in small game/animation projects as a freelance character designer. Meanwhile working on my own brand and character IP merch for a soon-to-be-open online shop and venturing into the world of art toy design collections.
I'm open to freelance work! please contact me if interested.
Open for collaborations as well!
