Everyday scenes in Mexican culture are always filled with vibrant colors, unique shapes, and delightful flavors—a part of the beauty that Valeria Torres seeks to showcase through her illustrations.
“With chile, limón, and sal,” that distinctive and deeply rooted flavor in Mexican gastronomy, which transports us back to our childhood and gives us a sense of belonging, is what Valeria conveys in her unique works.
As a graphic designer and illustrator, she began her journey after completing high school, carving her path in the professional world of branding and editorial design. Her projects range from personal ventures and collaborations with local brands to significant challenges.
Her artwork draws inspiration from the nature of the everyday, with a strong inclination towards Mexican popular art and culture. Through movement and colors, she displays her poetic and sentimental style.
Valeria’s illustrations share a common trait: they start on paper and always find their way into the digital realm. This is evident in the covers she created for Quadratín as the featured artist of the month. Her piece titled “The Miracles and Phenomena of the Earth” captures a nostalgic palette that breathes life into everyday situations that make a difference.
Her work is also visible in various local ventures, such as packaging designs, murals, and graphic applications for cafés and restaurants. Her Facebook and Instagram accounts serve as showcases for her latest works and illustrated thoughts.
