She has also collaborated with different musicians to illustrate and animate their music on digital platforms, such as Steph Egry's entire album Anxiety, and Gabriel Martell's album Jazz Addiction.
Reinterpreting the landscape and daily life through photography combined with paintings. I play with movement and circles deconstructing the image and integrating it with another. The way you see the world tells a lot about who you are, I think everyday life must contain a little adventure, movement, beauty, feelings, and passion; lest time pass by in grey monotony. I try to escape the existing order of reality until I make my own interpretation of it. As my great-grandfather Manuel Echauri said, "The landscaper requires his own language that goes beyond capturing what he sees, the artist has the obligation to delineate strokes and colors that express his vision of the world…”
