statement
My interest in colour is related to its meaning. I have been seeking the meaning of colour in cinematic pieces, art, photography, design... Within this I found myself inclined to philosophy, colour theory and psychology. I feel attracted to concepts like Jean Baudrillard's Desire Lines, the bauhaus use of colour described by Joseph Albers, Carl Jung and Freud´s psychological theories... Most of my artistic influences includes the colourful and playful screen prints of Andy Warhol, the designs of Carita Kent, the pop portraits of Julian Opie... Japanese printing artwork from Hiroshima and Hokusai would be included in this list, as well as, the paintings from the post impressionists. In terms of cinema, Kubrick has always been a huge source of inspiration: from the psychedelic scene in 2001 to the uncanny atmosphere of The Shining. Along my artistic and most recent career as self-taught graphic designer, I have developed projects using a varied selection of techniques: starting my devotion to art through photography and falling in love consequently with cinema, to rediscovering my casually forgotten affinity with design. Without not acknowledging the creation of projects related with urban art that I developed with my other colleagues of 92GO, an all female collective originated during our years at University. I am interested in developing my knowledge in colour theory and the way we interact in our lives with colour and how it can affect our emotions, perspectives and ways of understanding different concepts.
With my most recent projects, I want to learn more about creative coding and its uses in design while keeping in mind that design is vastly influenced by art. I also like to maintain an idea of playfulness and interactivity in my future projects.
