✨Two Emmy nominations✨🥹💙👑 And what a surreal way to find out ! Just as I had settled into my seat on the plane, about to fly to LA, I learned that Wolf King, one of the series I had the chance to work on in the art department, has received two Emmy nominations.

Knowing that myself and the incredible team who contributed, whether in big or small ways, are part of this nomination for such highly awards is something that moved me deeply. And it has made this trip begin in the most exciting and beautiful way possible. ✈️✨

And here comes a fun fact about my career: almost every project I’ve worked on has been nominated for Emmys, and several of them have already won multiple Emmy Awards as well as Goya Awards, BAFTAs, and many other internationally recognized honors. And Wolf King and the whole team deserves all of them💙

As for me, I never work thinking about whether a project will win awards or not. I work from a place of deep love and passion for what I do, always giving the very best of myself.

And when recognitions like this arrive, it always feels like a beautiful reminder that all the time, effort, dedication, late nights, passion, and consistency… always bear fruit in the end, even when it once seemed impossible.

So thank you for these two very special nominations ✨

Thank you, Wolf King💙🐺👑
Thank you to all the super amazing team behind🙌🏼
And thank you to my inner child, for never stopping drawing, enjoying and believing in me✨🫂⭐✨

In Vancouver, most days are rainy 🌧️ and the raindrops fall so quickly they look like tiny specks fading into the darkness, like a black-and-white film. Many mornings, when I wake up, it feels like 7 p.m because there’s hardly sunlight, and it’s something I’ve never quite gotten used to, even after more than a year of living here.

And even though I truly love black and white films and appreciate their beauty, I’ve realized I don’t belong to them. I’m made of light and color🧡.

Still, one of the things I adore most about Art is taking something that once made me feel like I didn’t belong and transforming it into beauty, a place where I do.

One of the last photos taken of me at and definitely one of my favorites that I just couldn’t not share🫶🏻✨ with the wonderful and gorgeous who has been a huge inspiration to me for as long as I can remember.

When I was a student, I grew up surrounded by beautiful mermaids, fantastic characters and amazing art, all thanks to her incredible work. Meeting her at right at my booth, was such a beautiful surprise. Seeing her discover my art and realizing that, beyond being an extraordinary artist (as I always knew), she’s also a truly kind and genuine person, meant the world to me. What an honor it was to meet you, Liana💖 Can’t wait to see you again and spend more time together next time!! ✨✨🎉

This past weekend at was full of light, color, amazing talent and so much love! Love and passion for Animation, film, storytelling, art and making this world even more incredible and beautiful together.

I experienced so many wonderful moments, from meeting the amazing director who came to my booth to buy my first Art book, with my version of Esmeralda on the cover, from his beautiful movie!❤️✨ To meeting hundreds of artists I deeply admire who stopped by to see my work and became new friends!

Thank you so much to every single person who stopped by to say hi, support my work or share a laugh together! I always say that talent can make you stand out, but what truly makes you unforgettable is your soul, your kindness, your vision of the world and the way you greet and connect with others.

And I can definitely say I met so many unforgettable people this past weekend and reconnect with amazing old friends! Who filled my heart with so much gratitude, inspiration and endless desire to keep creating and shinning !!! ✨✍🏻🫶🏻⭐

Let's keep making this world even more amazing!🔥✨

Thank you for selecting me to showcase my work and to all the people who keep supporting me along the way! ❤️✨A few months ago I received an email telling me I had been chosen among more than 1,400 artists from all over the world who, like me, share the same dream, to be at LightBox Expo at the end of october, showcasing their work and meeting thousands of amazing artists and people.

My story with LightBox is actually a long one, and I’m thinking of making a reel to share it, since this is my first time as a selected artist and my second time visiting both LightBox and Pasadena. And it just so happens to be the same year I’m living quite close (in Vancouver) life really does come full circle! 🎆

I’m beyond excited to be there, sharing my art and my passion for film, animation and entertainment with so many people. Can’t wait to see you all and if you’re still wondering whether to come, take this as your sign to join us and enjoy a festival that I’m sure will be unforgettable! ✨

Let's shine together!✨⭐🔥💖
