Blanca Gómez



I don't know a lot about this artist, so I may contact her soon.
What grabbed my attention was this image of a cloud and trees. It holds within it the most basic of shapes it’s constructed of two circles, five triangles and five rectangles, well six if you include the white background space.
The point being that, say if it was created in illustrator it would be totally sapped of its joyfulness losing its naivety, because illustrator formulates and flattens the shapes.
As far as I can tell she is marketed as a Graphic Designer/illustrator so likewise this image is challenging her design beliefs. The image has an anti-graphic reality and explores isolation and differentials.(It is my believe anyway)
