Hi, I´m Lucía!
I'm a visual artist and professional illustrator based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
My childhood, surrounded by pencils and illustrated books, influenced my need to visually communicate my ideas, leading me to professionally study painting and sculpture until discovering my vocation for illustration.
In my work, I believe that expression and gesture are crucial, so I constantly experiment by blending traditional methods with digital tools.
Currently, my focus is on editorial illustration and visual development, although I always seek challenges that contribute to my professional growth.
