Olivia Baeza - AMIGOS - XXL -

I am a visual artist with a figurative focus. I draw inspiration from nature and usually observe it closely; very often I take photographs to capture unusual frames, seeking perspectives that are uncommon and lead to interesting compositions. Although I start from reality, I like to transform the color palette to move closer to a fantastical reality. I enjoy reinterpreting the world from my imagination and capturing that personal version of things. Sometimes my work becomes more geometric, closer to illustration. I like to explore abstract or geometric interpretations of elements and concepts, as a different form of expression within my visual language. I also create digital illustration, a medium I enjoy for its logic, distinct from painting: I experience it as a game with different rules, opening up new visual and creative possibilities. As an architect, I find mural painting to be the perfect way to unite my two passions: art and space design. Intervening walls, both indoors and outdoors, allows me to bring my work to another scale and transform the environment in a direct, vivid, and meaningful way.
