Este proyecto personal da vida a la calidez, el sabor y la alegría de una panadería familiar conocida por sus muffins y sus acogedoras cafeterías.

Editorial Illustrations

The colors are bold and vibrant, the illustration's vibe is warm and friendly.

These personal projects are editorial illustrations for magazine stories in the Social, Health, or Feature sections.

One explores the grocery store as one of the last true melting pots. It’s noisy and sometimes chaotic, but also far more nourishing than the isolation of shopping online shopping, because real human connection feeds our wellbeing.

The other dives into urban life: Woven into the daily rush are sometimes tiny acts of kindness. And these micro-interactions are mighty by strengthening our social fabric and building our resilience.

Estos proyectos personales son ilustraciones editoriales para artículos de revistas en las secciones Sociales o Reportajes.

Uno de ellos explora la tienda de comestibles como uno de los últimos verdaderos crisol de culturas. Es ruidosa y a veces caótica, pero también mucho más enriquecedora que el aislamiento de las compras en línea. Porque las relaciones humanas reales alimentan nuestro bienestar.

La otra ilustración se adentra en la vida urbana. Entre el ajetreo diario, por ejemplo, al desplazarse en metro, a veces se producen pequeños actos de amabilidad. Y estas microinteracciones tienen un gran poder: ya que fortalecen nuestro tejido social y desarrollan nuestra resiliencia.
The illustration is showing the face of a happy young man. Three hands are shown offering him food. The hand of his grandma is offering him a delicious looking cookie. The hand of his friend is offering him a piece of watermelon. And the hand of a woman is offering him a piece of birthday cake. The arms belonging to the hands have tattoos on them. The colors are happy, warm, and vibrant.

This editorial illustration explores the magic of comfort food: What’s that secret ingredient that makes something so irresistibly delicious and comforting? Comfort food is all about our favorite people and the moments, we share with them. The warm cookies grandma or abuelita bakes for us. The watermelon shared with the best friend after surfing the waves together. The birthday cake, but surrounded by family and friends.

This illustration captures that strong connection between comfort food, our favorite people and sweet memories.

Esta ilustración editorial explora la magia de la comida reconfortante: ¿cuál es ese ingrediente secreto que hace que algo resulte tan irresistiblemente delicioso y reconfortante? La comida reconfortante tiene que ver con nuestras personas favoritas y con los momentos que compartimos con ellas. Las galletas calientes que nos hornea la abuela o la abuelita. La sandía que compartimos con nuestro mejor amigo después de surfear juntos las olas. La tarta de cumpleaños, rodeados de familiares y amigos.

Esta ilustración plasma ese fuerte vínculo que existe entre la comida reconfortante, nuestras personas favoritas y los recuerdos entrañables.
