Travel, cultures, everyday life: Angela’s inspiration meets precise lines.

Clean lines, warm colors, and details that invite discovery.

Based in Valencia, Spain, Angela is originally from Azul in Argentina, where she grew up painting and drawing with her parents and grandfather. She studied Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires but went on to focus on illustration as a means to express herself creatively. Her background in design gives her a strong appreciation for the importance of composition and a good understanding of the creative processes followed in studios and agencies. Clients say Angela is reliable to work with, sets the highest standard and is detail oriented. Her inspiration comes from travel and experiencing new cultures and she observes the landscapes, architecture, food, clothing and daily life wherever she goes. Her favourite illustrators include Katie Scott, Elizabeth Builes and Dinara Mirtalipova.

Approach

When a project begins, Angela often uses photographs as reference, sketching her ideas and finding the best way to depict the subjects. She uses technical pens or pencils for the line work before adding colour digitally in Procreate. “I like keeping part of the process on paper because it makes me more conscious of scale, line quality and the level of detail I can achieve,” she explains.

Key software

Procreate and Adobe Photoshop

Style

Angela’s imagery is clear and immediately approachable to any audience, with graphical forms, clean line work and limited colour palettes that exude warmth and personality. Her strong visual storytelling is backed up with a layer of finer detail that invites the viewer to look more closely to discover something new in just about every image.
