Interview With Visual Artist Palomita Voladora

 Tell us a little about your background; How did you start as a visual artist?

I am a visual artist by profession, I started with my interest in the audiovisual part but as I learned more techniques and history, I fell in love with crafts, with everything that has a “handmade” component and I stayed exploring this path

Where does the name Palomita Voladora come from?

Palomita voladora  was created almost by itself, I don't remember very well the exact moment when I gave it a name... but at first I wanted something that referred to the sky, the clouds, to fly... and what better than something/someone that flew so high that he could pierce the clouds, someone whose home was the sky and from that emerged Palomita

How is your creative process?

At palomita I manage two lines: one is personalized designs, where there really isn't that much of a creative process, people come with a specific design or idea and I follow that idea.

On the other hand, there are my own designs, which are unique pieces (1 unit or very few), I am inspired by everyday life, by how I can convert objects and what happens to me in my daily life, into a story or something. who would inhabit the magical world of Palomita  I generally have a defined color palette, with pastel and light colors that refer a lot to childhood, because I deeply believe in the connection I have with my  inter girl the power it give me.

What inspires you right now? What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on continuing to handle decorative objects, that tells a story in their design. I want to continue exploring the world of tufting to make larger format things.

What is your favorite part of your artistic creation?

I think I like the whole process, I like it from the beginning, that there is nothing, just scratches... until I see the entire final result, which takes days and days. In the middle of that path I like that I managed to connect with myself in different ways, almost taking a trip through all my emotions in the hours I spend working.

What can we expect to see from you in the future?

What you can expect from me are new designs, new techniques or a mix of those I already use and many many dreams
