Ana Montiel

I recently came across Ana Montiel, an artist focused on mainly patterns and graphics. Her designs are shown on many different surfaces, from wallpaper to curtains and even demonstrated on shoes and bikes! The colours and shapes in the patterns are so feminine, and some very detailed, I love them all! Montiel also has a wonderful way of presenting her CV, an interesting way I'd like to look into further... An illustrated timeline of her life, from her first canvas at age 4, when she started her fine art studies at Universidad de Barcelona, to when she began practicing yoga and meditation! So much more personal and intimate than the boring old CV! Here are a few of my favourite pieces, you can see more on her website here, and also buy prints or even her book! Something I'd love to get my hands on (although a little out of my price range unfortunately!).
