Hello! my name is Mariel and I am a san Francisco based artist
My work tries to capture the overwhelming beauty and chaotic world around me primarily through making images. Comics and illustration are my main mediums but I always look for ways I can blend art forms that have to do with sound, touch and time.
My biggest influences are the Spanish and Belgium comics my family has brought with them from Spain such as Lucky Luke, Tintin, and SuperLopez, as well as some American and Japanese comics like Astro boy and The X-Men.
In my spare time I enjoy video essays, Proko art tutorials, catching up on friends reading recommendations, training for a full marathon, and dancing to bachata, reggaeton, and whatever else.
