Mi muro para el 5to encuentro internacional de muralismo, en la Colonia Morelos, Hidalgo.
Una serpiente inspirada en Quetzalcoatl, y una niña interactúan en un mundo mágico. Pensando en las infancias y en la niña o niño interior que todxs tenemos, quise pintar una escena fantástica para estimular la imaginación y el diálogo de qué puede significar lo que se ve. Ya que no hay una respuesta concreta o correcta.

El encuentro fue de las experiencias más lindas que tuve en Mexico. Hubo al rededor de 70 artistas de distintas partes del mundo trabajando en conjunto, más todos los de la organización trabajando detrás que nos hicieron sentir como su familia.
Espero volver pronto ❤️

Cerré mi viaje con broche de oro, dejando mi marca en la ciudad.
Gracias a todo el equipo de por gestionar esta pared, estoy más que feliz de haberlos conocido🙌🏼❤️😌
Ahora queda integrar la intensidad de este mes, recargar energías y volver a empezar.
My last painting in México! Beyond grateful to have met the team@pg Gama who made this painting possible.
Now it’s time to rest and integrate the craziness of this month, and then start again😌.

Before starting my trip through México, I got the chance to do a few illustrations for for an activation on birthday. The theme was Alice in wonderland.
The illustrations were then animated and projected during the event.
I worked alongside and , dreamteam!
Stay tuned I will post more about this project! .

Antes de empezar mi viaje por México tuve el placer de trabajar junto a dos amigos creativos muy talentosos Jem (vj y administrador del proyecto y Kat, animadora) en la creación de unas animaciones para una intervención bancada por RedBull. La temática fue Alicia en el país de las maravillas.
La animación fue proyectada en el evento aniversario de un Bar y boliche llamado Electric en la zona céntrica de Melbourne.

Mural en Xochiatipan, en la Huasteca Hidalguense.
Fue un verdadero privilegio pintar en esta comunidad indígena llena de gente tan amable y linda, escuchar el Náhuatl (lengua indígena local) y ser testigo de los preparativos y celebración del Xantolo. (Celebración prehispánica en honor a la muerte).
Presenciar los rituales y las danzas fue realmente conmovedor y mágico. Me encontré un par de veces emocionada solo viendo lo que estaba en frente mío. Hay mucho por integrar.

También fue un placer pintar al lado de dos grandes! y
Tlaskamati miya (Muchas gracias en Náhuatl) de corazón ♥️

No me imagino una mejor manera de arrancar mi viaje😌🙌🏼

Mural in Xochiatipan, Huasteca Hidalguense.
It was a real privilege to paint in this indigenous community, full of beautiful and kind people. It was moving to see how this people live a very humble life and they are so open and giving. I heard people speaking Náhuatl (local aboriginal language) and I witnessed the preparations and celebration of Xantolo, a prehispanic celebration in honour of the death. It was a gift to be in presence of such ancient traditions.

Witnessing the rituals and dances was truly moving and magical. I found myself on the edge of crying more than one time just looking at what was in front of me. A lot to take in.
It was also a real pleasure to paint next to 2 legends Diana and Doriang.

“The last flower on earth”. My piece for exhibition, come this Saturday 21st to check out some cool art and why not buy yourself one. 100% of every sale price goes to building a life changing permanent clean water scheme in Eswatini, Africa.

“In our world, having clean water and breathing clean air is a privilege often taken for granted, depending on where you live or grew up. I have painted an apocalyptic scene, not too far from where we are standing today, not too different from the reality in some places on Earth. They are sadly admiring the last living flower, which has to be kept in a glass capsule as the conditions are no longer suitable for it to grow naturally. Painting this piece has helped me channel some of the anxiety I feel about the present and future regarding climate change and the state of our planet in general. I hope it raises awareness or sparks conversations among those who view it."
Auction is already open on their eebsite😌✨

The result of my live painting from last friday and yesterday at salsa event.

I really like painting on live events because the setting and process change a lot as well as my approach. I have less control and expectation on the result and I usually end up creating some of my favourite work🫠

Thank you so much to everyone that came to have a chat and was curious to know more about my art. I enjoyed to show a bit of my world and practice in a very different setting.

My piece for graffiti jam in KL, Malasya. I feel deeply grateful for the people I met and the chance to paint and play with colours. Thanks for inviting me!!🙌🏼🔥

Thanks for these beautiful photos💕

“On my way” is an illustration that I did for that was installed on Pascoe Vale Train Station.

This was definitely one of the biggest projects that I had the opportunity to work on. It started on June 2021 with the idea of painting a mural, but a lot of things happened in the middle and I ended up working on a digital illustration. The design was done 2 years ago but I digitalised it a couple of months ago. It was interesting to work on an old illustration as maybe now I would have done things in another way.

This was a very meaningful job to me because it appeared on a stage of my life where I was struggling financially and feeling very frustrated and overwhelmed, and I was just really concerned about how I was going to pay my studies and being able to stay in Melbourne. This was for me a clear example of how sometimes things come out of nothing even when you are on the edge of giving up.

Life definitely work in curious ways. 😌

Thank you so so much for these amazing photos of my work, Im beyond grateful!
And thanks to everyone from the council that was involved throughout the process of making this happen, it was a long tedious process and Im am stocked that it is now out there for everyone to enjoy!

Aaahh this wall!🥲
I painted with the intention to play, however it was definitely a challenge to “trust the process” as everyone says and let go the expectations of how it should look like.

Out of my comfort zone, painting with no shade in really hot and humid days, with a very inconvenient infection and battling with my little demons inside my mind that tells me I’m not good enough and that Im doing it’s somehow wrong.

Sometimes I have the belief that because I don’t paint realistic or I don’t really know a “technique” im not enough of an artist. I know it’s silly but therapy is guilty to now make me feel super conscious of my inner talks, and I thought sharing my vulnerabilities might help someone else because I understand that it doesn’t matter what we do, we all have those little demons inside.

Anyway, I don’t want my demons to rule my lifeeeee, they’re so limiting 🫠🫠🫠

I also experienced the other side of it, feeling deep joy and gratitude while doing what I love in what to me looks like paradise.

🙂Helllooo it’s about time for me to have a detox from these platforms. Please feel free message me at: [email protected] ✨
I found myself falling into the trap of comparing myself with others again plus the whole dumb scrolling thing. I feel it’s frying my brain and I don’t like that. Because I get some jobs from Instagram (and prints sales), it’s a bit scary for me to stop using it for a while. But whatever, mental health first and I also trust that my work is not social media dependent. Anyway if you want to contact me or say hi please send me an email, it would be very fun to get random emails.
Bye for nowww👋🏻👋🏻
Much looove💕

Im really enjoying to paint this character with the rabbit/cat mask. It’s fun to hear peoples feedback on what it reminds them off or what do they feel when they see it. From a cute rabbit to DMT memory trips 🤷🏽‍♀️ . For me it’s a mask to see life with multiple perspectives, deeper into the details and through the layers that distract us from the essential things. Idk it’s also fun to paint.😅.

“The last flower on earth”
She lives on a dystopian world where nothing it’s the way we know anymore. She found the last flower alive protected on a crystal terrarium as the oxygen it’s not breathable anymore.
She looks at it the same way we look at something from another time.

She wonders how humans used to live with so many flowers that they stop seeing the beauty on them.

Final touches before entering in a vortex of madness. Still processing and winding down after . So many beautiful creative people in one place, crazy experience!
I’ll be sharing more about what I painted for the festival in the next few days, stay tuned🫠🫠🫠
Thank you for the amazing shots😍

I can’t wait to share proper photos of this mural, but because is on a construction site I’ll have to wait at least 7 months until they take the scaffolding down.
It was soo tricky to paint without having a clear vision of the wall. Definitely a challenge as it was also probably the biggest/ most detailed mural that I’ve worked on so far.
Pretty happy with the result, at least looking at it from very close😅
The brief was about Australian native birds and flowers and Victorian emblems.

A few pages of a little book project that I did last year💕🧚🏻‍♂️✨

Guardiana de lo Impermanente.
Maybe one of the paintings that I enjoyed the most. I tried to detach as much as I could from the final result and remind myself that I was just playing.

Spray paint and acrylic on recycled plywood. 90x60cm.

✨Final pencil sketch of my last piece for the upcoming exhibition w/ .mp
It was not in my head to do a self portrait but I ended up using myself for reference. I kind of liked the idea of closing this stage of my life with this work though. There’s a lot of self reflection when you spend hours looking and drawing your face🫠
I did the final one with ink, and there are just 4 prints left of it. Send me a DM if you wanna see the catalogue of prints available.
See you the 2nd of December at !!!
