about me

I am Chelsy Escalona, visual artist from Cuba based in Berlin, Germany. I graduated as a Graphic Designer in 2015 from the Superior Design Institute at the University of Havana. In order to pursue my true passion in 2019 I began my freelance illustration career which has been an incredible time full of amazing moments.

 

All this has led me to explore more in depth the illustration field allowing me to work in collaboration with art magazines, editorials, musicians and on personal projects.

​

My universe full of color and textures speaks of the beauty of everyday life experiences through a female perspective, with a neo-pop art style where black lines, bright colors and the use of textures will transport the viewer towards my inner world, my personal work talks about my emotions, my vision of life and experiences, and how I choose to present the role of women outside the pre-established narratives of modern society, in a world where the female figure can convey a positive vision and healthy lifestyle and where she can enjoy being herself without needing anything else. I also seek to create pieces of art full of little stories that other people can find when they look closer and with which they can connect and see themselves reflected.
