Pamela Navarrete, Chilean illustrator and graphic designer

Since I was a child, art expressed itself in me spontaneously. As the years passed, it became my passion and that passion continues until this day.

With watercolor I’ve found a technique that truly excites me. I play, experimenting with loose and organic strokes, giving life to poetic images. I Iove to contemplate how colors spread and fuse creating unexpected results, which many times surprise me. I feel that watercolor manifests itself in the same way as life does, a constant flow of infinite possibilities contained in a whole.

Nature is something that touches me deeply. Travelling through different parts of the world has enabled me to connect with its magical presence in everything and to discover the beautiful expressions and forms of mother Earth. This awakens profound inspiration deep inside of me, calling me to “translate” the essence of the state of being found in everything which captures my attention, exploring and interpreting it through oneiric and surrealist hues.

Pamela Navarrete, ilustradora y diseñadora gráfica chilena.

Desde pequeña el arte se expresó en mi de manera espontánea. Pintar fue un medio de expresión natural que hasta el día de hoy me acompaña y me apasiona.

En la acuarela he encontrado una técnica que me hace vibrar, juego a experimentar con trazos sueltos y orgánicos, dando resultado a poéticas imágenes. Me encanta contemplar como los colores se van esparciendo y fusionando para llegar a resultados inesperados que muchas veces me sorprenden. Siento que la acuarela se manifiesta igual que la vida, un fluir constante entre infinitas posibilidades contenidas en una unidad.

La naturaleza es una de las cosas que me conmueve profundamente. Viajar por diferentes partes del mundo me ha llevado a conectar con su magia presente en todo y descubrir las bellas expresiones y formas de la madre Tierra. Despierta ahí mi gran inspiración, incitándome a plasmar la esencia del estado de Ser de todo aquello que llame mi atención, capturándolo a través de tintes oníricos y surrealistas.
