2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

My Aesthetic is eclectic, I love to mix organic shapes and vibrant colours in mixed media which are heavily influenced by my South American roots.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

In recent years I have started to work and experiment more with digital formats and video, but I still love to work with paint and especially produce large format canvases and murals, and I love screen printing too.

4. What is your artistic process like?

I still use the old process of sketching, even though my work is known for its colour I usually start by sketching with black ink pen on white paper. I then develop my sketches depending on the three mediums I work in.

5. Who or what inspires your work?

Music and fashion are big inspirations for me and always the starting point to a piece of work.

6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?

It’s everything. It makes me perceive the world in a positive way. ELoizaga 4_The Stones

Whilst living in Barcelona I used to spend my summers in Sweden where I studied drawing techniques and textile design. After this I moved to London and studied Illustration at Central St Martins.

Happy and still doing what I love. Hopefully dedicating even more time to my own work.
