Project: Branding illustration

ENG. I have been in many projects with people that I love very much, but this time I had the chance to work with a couple of people that I adore and admire. They have both been by my side in extremely difficult times and I was finally able to create something for them. This is a small project that takes many years of work and learning and I am glad that it has finally come to light. Datura is a brand full of magic and symbolism, that’s why I created an illustration that represents femininity, magic and the relationship with nature with which the brand is so identified.

ESP. He estado en muchos proyectos con gente que quiero mucho, pero esta vez tuve la oportunidad de trabajar con un par de personas que adoro y admiro. Ambas han estado a mi lado en momentos sumamente difíciles y por fin pude crear algo para ellos. Este es un pequeño proyecto que tiene muchos años de trabajo y aprendizaje y me da gusto que por fin haya salido a la luz. Datura es una marca llena de magia y simbolismo, por ello la idea de crear una ilustración que representara la feminidad, la magia y la relación con la naturaleza con la que está tan identificada la marca.

NSFW Art show

Spoke art’s NSFW Art show
curated by Dasha Matsuura


”Spoke Art NSFW, a group exhibition featuring over 40 femme artists exploring sex and sexuality. This dynamic array of artists displays a complex spectrum of experiences from introspective and intimate to playful and defiant. 

Returning for its third iteration the exhibition explores and expands on what it means to be a sexual femme presenting person today. Including a wide variety of media such as painting, drawing, embroidery and ceramics, each artist presents facets of sexuality from the feminine viewpoint. The exhibition seeks to celebrate the ever shifting and multi-dimensional experience of each artist from soft sensuality to frank brashness.

Each piece delves into the complexity of femme sexuality, not as a definitive narrative, but as a larger conversation. Giving voice to artists across the spectrum of gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, racial background and experiences, the exhibition explores how each artist relates to their own sexuality.”
