PAULA VÁSQUEZ | ILLUSTRATOR

Paula was born in Santiago, Chile, and at an early age she showed great interest in pen and paper, which became a passion that goes up to now.

She graduated from Graphical Design at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and went into design for several years.

In 2005, Paula lived for a year in Sydney, Australia, where she found the time and inspiration to create her first illustrated artwork; then, she decided that illustration was what she would do afterwards.

Back in Chile, she took many courses and workshops and finally she specialized by making a post-title course in Arts w/m in Illustration at Universidad Finis Terrae, where she had the opportunity to publish her first picture book.

In the last two years, she has worked with several Chilean graphic groups, thus materializing her most desired dream, to pursue illustration. She has already published more than a dozen books and among them stand out “Al este del sol, al oeste de la luna”, “Mis aromas favoritos” and “Amor” y “De a dos”.

By now, she is living in Barcelona where she is studying a diploma in illustration at EINA Escola de Disseny i Arts and is currently working on the development of her most craved project, the creation of her first picture book.
