UNCONDITIONAL LOVER OF NATURE. PASSIONATE ABOUT COLORS. FASCINATED BY TEXTURES, DETAILS, SHAPES AND BEAUTY.
Such is Catalina Estrada, Colombian illustrator based in Barcelona since 1999 who has managed to reinterpret the Latin American folklore with its original strength to make it bloom in deep harmony and simplicity. Her impressive and cheerful visual language, infectiously optimistic, with thousands of colors, and with all the power of nature, goes beyond borders.
Flora and fauna are Catalina’s main source of inspiration from where she builds her own universe based on the simplicity of beauty. In her personal vision of a tamed nature, an array of characters wander around fascinating worlds. Her work is cheerful, bright, emotive and full of love. Delicate and elegant images which communicate from within colors. Her work is exciting and provokes happiness.
Her multiple designs in thousands of colors and her chromatic technique links
