I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with 23AndMe on this piece to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and the diversity of cultures that make up Hispanic and Latino heritage. This illustration kicked off their 3-part series and focuses on what makes Costa Rica unique.
Throughout the development of this project, I had time to reflect on the traditions and aspects of my country that truly resonate with me. I realized that some of the traditions I hold dearest are deeply rooted in arts and crafts. Here you can see a mix of traditional artisan work mixed in with a lush natural landscape.
Below you can find some of the images that inspired this composition, an initial sketch and the final product.
