MARU ELORZA

Uruguay

I was born in Uruguay, the world capital of melancholy and nostalgia. I am messy, undisciplined, and impetuous, which translates into imperfect illustrations and designs, as they are usually created in the spur of the moment without much deliberation. I believe my graphic identity is as changeable as my moods. I do not define myself as an artist, but rather as a visual communicator, because for as long as I can remember, I have tried to express my feelings through images: drawing, painting, photographing, dressing, creating designs, videos, objects. Creating a narrative with images is a natural language for me, one that flows more easily than words, which is why I have always relied on it to reconcile the torrent of experiences and stimuli in my daily life.
