Interview with Catalina Estrada

What inspired you to start this kind of graphic art and design?

“Well, I’ve always liked everything related to art. But I think a big inspiration was my mom. My mom loved colors, and she always painted her house in all colors.

She loved art, strange objects, antiquities. So I think she was a big inspiration for me. I’ve always liked to paint and draw.

And obviously I chose the career, I wanted to study art. But in the end I decided to study graphic design. The more I studied, the more I learned, the more I found, and the more I wanted to find my own path in this career.”

“Bueno, a mí siempre me gustó mucho todo lo relacionado con el arte. Pero yo creo que una inspiración muy grande fue mi mamá. Que a mi mamá le encantaban los colores y ella siempre pintó su casa de todos los colores.

Y le encantaba el arte, los objetos extraños, las antigüedades. Entonces creo que ella fue una inspiración muy grande para mí. Y ya cuando siempre me gustó pintar, dibujar, y obviamente pues escogí la carrera.

Quería estudiar arte, pero al final decidí estudiar diseño gráfico. Y ahí entre más estudiaba, más aprendía y más encontraba y más tenía ganas de encontrar mi propio camino.”
