Occupation: Fashion Illustrator and Visual artist Instagram: @jfillustrations Where were you born? I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina but I'm currently based in Miami, FL. In one sentence what is unique about your work? It's a mix between a runway and a candyland. Why do you do what you do? Because it makes me happy. I'm addicted to drawing. I also like to provide a distraction from everyday problems to everyone that enjoys my art. I love to inject some colors onto the sometimes gray reality. What inspires you? Traveling. Pop culture. Japanese culture. Color in general. Sunsets. Describe your personal style. Comfortable, preppy and playful. Pink and camo items are a must. Bows too. I wear a lot of puffy skirts. Ballerina flats or -better yet- jellies. Your ultimate must-have. A statement bag. What superpower would you have and why? Teleportation, so I could go for coffee and people watch to Tokyo, London or New York, and go back to my studio in no time (and no jet lag) and sketch. What is next for you? Vacations in Europe, and after that come back uber inspired, and take over the world. :)

I create fashionable, flattering characters with a little edge. I love drawing faces.
Drawing will never be a real work. When I draw I feel joyful, peaceful, a unique wellbeing, it is almost meditative. It gives me balance and harmony and I want to share all these beautiful energies throught my artworks.
The emotions I put in creating every artwork, it is very energetic and colorful, ugly and beautiful at the same time.
I know macro trends and the connection between macro trends and fashion. Feminism and multiculturalism are one of those macro trends which I demonstrate in my art.
