Hi there, I'm Mina!
I'm a Colombian creative who tells both exciting and melancholic stories within their work through playful, visually stunning pieces. Most of my craft revolves around intangible magic and the power of nature.
Our interpretations of myths and fables originated from imaginative artistry mixed with a curiosity for a truth, and the mystique of it forever being impalpable, allowing us to do so infinitely. Fostering written magic through the generations is one of the most important acts we as a society can take part in. Not only is it beautiful but vital for the preservation of culture, and wisdom. Art is a gift of self-indulgent tenderness given by bringing visual poetry to even the most mundane scenes capturing our fears, our love, and at times a settlement in-between. I would love nothing more than to take part in such an incredible project with a team that shares the same beliefs and come from varied backgrounds.
10+ years of experience specializing in general fabrication craftmaking, and digital visual design.
The fun in my work exists in working with my hands, and seeking out novel challenges with creative limitations to push the boundaries of what can be successfully executed. As a result, it has instilled in myself a great trust of skillset and transferable knowledge across mediums. My participation in a project is a guaranteed team member with the desire and patience to deliver consistently beautiful work despite the circumstances.
