Read Interview
I'm an illustrator born and raised in the south of Chile in a rainy small town. I studied Graphic design at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago where I currently live. My art features loud and saturated colors and is filled with memories of childhood. I'm obsessed with creating creatures, whether human or animal, or even inanimate objects. Fear and Humor are my two motivations.
