イラストの世界にあなたをつなぐ
Working mainly in fashion, publishing and editorial, Natalia Sanabria is influenced by fashion designers like Meadham Kirchhoff, Tsumori Chisato and Prada. Equally, she’s inspired by artists like Gustav Klimt, Toulouse Lautrec, Degas and Egon Schiele because they could make women look powerful yet delicate at the same time. These influences show through in Natalia’s work.
Based in Costa Rica, she was always drawing as a child and later became interested in fashion illustration, making collages from magazine images. During her studies she perfected her anatomy and became an illustrator. She collects Barbie dolls, brooches, pins, origami and other strange things. If she could live in another era, she’d choose Paris during the days of the Moulin Rouge, or the 1980s with its big hair and make-up.
I live in Costa Rica. This is a very colorful country that I get a lot of inspiration from.
Drawing allows me to reflect my personality, translate emotions;
in a way I create beauty. I interpret the images that inspire me through different materials, textures and colors.
Although I consider myself a perfectionist, I also like to embrace the randomness and unpredictability of the materials I work with, such as torn paper, glitter and watercolor.
Besides art, I enjoy nature a lot and visiting new places, in a way, this also motivates my work.
