Creative curly-haired with a tendency towards melancholy; Celin Ugalde Schärli. I was born and raised in Costa Rica, later I moved to Switzerland with my mother. I combine my two origins in my work. Emotional, curved elements from the warm tropics combined with clear, static surfaces from the mountains. I like to work with different media, photography, digital media or I experiment with slightly surreal drawings, the main thing is that the result is an expressive image. With my illustrations I create emotional worlds, provided with my own symbols.
Designing has been a part of my life since I was little, and I often communicate my feelings better with my pictures than with my words. I find it fascinating how the same picture has different meanings for different people.
