square grid

This illustration began with a simple black frame. As I started adding geometric squares, I realized I could create a dynamic composition using only squares — a shape traditionally considered static. The color palette adds an inherent beauty and energy to the piece

Patterns in Motion

This project began with a photograph of a white oak wall. I transformed it by maintaining the original shapes of the wood panels while applying a modern, unconventional color palette — vibrant tones rarely seen in wood textures

Anni Albers poster

For these posters, I began by researching Josef Albers. Upon discovering how crucial his wife, Anni, was to his artistic journey, I decided to create a poster dedicated to her as well. These pieces reinterpret their work and attempt to conceptualize their essence through my design. I also played with various fonts and type sizes to emphasize key words and enhance visual hierarchy

Brings playful energy and groove into fast-paced

Eugenia

This illustration is based on a photo of one of my closest friends. I used gradient mesh to add highlights and depth to the portrait. I also incorporated mesh gradient shapes to evoke a reimagined 1960s aesthetic

funk tribu

This piece was designed as a background for a website I created. I used both Photoshop and Illustrator, distorting a photo I took and layering it with dynamic, abstract strokes

An OG in groovy techno; his sets are legendary for rhythm-heavy, funky techno vibes.

waves in grid

I envision this illustration as either a wall art piece or a funky rug in a living room. I aimed to create irregular shapes with a vibrant and saturated color palette to make a bold visual statement

Card Image
animals

For this project, I wanted to depict various animals native to the Amazon. I chose to illustrate the pink river dolphin, as many people are unaware of the existence of a pink-colored aquatic mammal in the Amazon River. I used Adobe Illustrator to bring this illustration to life

Card Image
dance party poster

Consistent in delivering rolling techno tracks with groove elements.

wings

These abstract wings are inspired by bird feathers and skin tones. I wanted to convey the essence of feathers through elongated shapes and vivid colors. I imagine this piece as wall art, bringing vibrancy and life to any space

Card Image
aura

This piece represents a person’s aura. It is said that our auras radiate in different colors. I chose blue, as it is associated with peace, tranquility, and wisdom — qualities that feel especially valuable in times of change

Card Image
words

This piece holds deep personal meaning. I wanted to represent the word Isolated visually. As a member of the LGBTQI+ community, I often feel like the letter “A” — surrounded by other letters, yet clearly distant. This illustration captures that emotional experience

Card Image
map

This map represents the neighborhood where I grew up in Bogotá, D.C. I used a Google Maps template and referenced old personal photos along with Google Maps to locate the exact placement of trees and landmarks. This map holds deep personal meaning, as it represents the place where I spent most of my life
