Lisa Kwon
My background is in graphic design and photography, while music, martial arts, and drawing are other passions I have that keep life in balance. By day, I work as a production artist in the retail display industry. After hours, I enjoy exploring and exercising new ideas through whatever mediums spark motivation in the day, which are usually inspired by the idea of planting a seed and sparking a recognizable narrative to be personally discovered by a viewer. I enjoy playing in all mediums as a tool for these discoveries.

Miroslava Cardamomo | Irina
Miroslava Cardamomo (CDMX, 1991) is a creator who has explored artistic creation from different areas with a common axis: the importance of telling a story that shows the reality that we do not always dare to see. She has worked as an illustrator, visual artist, art and costume director in film and audiovisual projects, writer, etc. The creation in her projects starts from the impulse and the spontaneous, letting herself be carried away by the image that comes to the mind to reveal the abstract, make it come true, and display those figures that the sight distorts in its desire to build assumed normality.
​
Thus, by representing what could be grotesque but is rather natural and evaded, she builds an imaginary that seeks to show all that inhabits the most ignored corners of our interior: the repression of the monstrous, the habitual of the terrible.
