I was born and raised in southern Chile, and I have lived in Temuco, Santiago and Barcelona. I worked long time as a graphic designer, until I realized that what I liked the most was illustration.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I think my illustrations are cheerful, simple and very colorful.

I like to work in a digital way, it's very easy because I can do and undo without much problem, also I like to paint with watercolors and colored pencils.

Many things, books, music, food but I think what inspires me most are books and the work of other artists or illustrators.
