ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a Graphic Design major at New Jersey City University, I am someone who cherishes the quiet details of life. I am drawn to those delicate experiences that often go unnoticed, for it is in these small things that true emotion resides.
My work is a fusion of illustration, editorial design, and storytelling, often beginning with a simple spark. Through design, I explore themes of emotion, identity, and cultural memory particularly those expressed through small acts of care and everyday rituals. Whether I am creating zines, guides, or prints, I strive to ensure that these projects resonate with others, making them something people want to hold onto as much as I enjoy crafting them. Each piece is a whisper that lingers in the mind.
Having grown up in Peru, I am deeply influenced by the textures, colors, and traditions that permeate my work. The vibrant hues of the landscape, the intricate patterns of Andean textiles, and the histories captured in handmade objects all inform my palettes and designs. I view tradition not as a static entity but as a living, evolving force. I often contemplate how we can authentically carry culture forward and how our inherited legacies shape our creative expressions.
My creative process is hands-on and somewhat messy. I draw constantly, litter my workspace with Post-it notes, and become captivated by the arrangement of images, transforming them into patterns and collages until everything feels right. While I sometimes overthink, I also trust my instincts, always striving for honesty in my work. I believe the best designs are shared moments a silent invitation to look closer and recognize the significance in the everyday.
