Todas las mujeres que habitan en mi.
(The women who live within me)
Digital illustration
This series comes from a personal exploration of my femininity. For many years, I questioned what defines a Latin woman: her beauty, her elegance, her way of caring for others. Even though I have witnessed these qualities —and recognize them in myself— they never fully captured my complexity.
In my early years as an illustrator, I avoided drawing women. It felt difficult, almost uncomfortable. There was something in that representation I couldn’t fully understand. Now, I choose to return to that place of resistance and sit with it. Drawing women becomes an act of reclaiming: what I once avoided, what I didn’t understand, and what I am.
My work incorporates elements of nature, often associated with Latin femininity, not as decoration but as an extension of the body and an emotional language. In these pieces, the organic and the human coexist to build new ways of understanding identity.
This is an ongoing project. I’m not interested in closing it or defining it too clearly. Instead, I see it as a space to continuously explore my personal illustrative style while also exploring myself.
Through illustration, I seek to redefine my own femininity from a more honest and open place. I’m no longer interested in perfection. I’m interested in discomfort, in irregularity, in what doesn’t fully fit. Within that imperfection, I find a more real space to exist, to understand myself, and to be seen.
