VANESSA FRANCO CLavijo
Illustrator and Graphic Designer
Medellín, Colombia
1998
For some time now, some humans who love
me very much have been calling me Vanessia
(a combination between my name + the word
silly in Spanish), because I am curious and chatty. It makes sense.
My relationship with design and illustration is based on being careful, paying attention.
In observing the mere sensations that go through an idea and exploring concepts, narratives, strategies or formats.
At the moment I'm also learning tattooing and ceramics; I walk in the afternoons with Mango
my dog; I drink a lot of coffee and sleep with
Bella my cat.
