\nI know that sometimes she likes some of the articles on this blog, so she has good taste \ud83d\ude09
\nI checked her pictures on Facebook, and I saw that she is a dark-hair-super-cute-spanish-speaking girl, which you know is exactly my kind of girl (don’t you?).
\nShe is a talented artist, and looking at her art, I know that she has to be delicate, cool, and clever.<\/p>\n

\nMy name is Karen Guti\u00e9rrez, I am 22 years old and I am artist & visual designer. I am currently conceptualizing and producing my own brand of art & design called ‘Littlest things’, a project that will conclude my studies of visual design at the Faculty of fine arts of the Universidad Veracruzana in Mexico. I’m also finishing a lithographic project of six illustrations which bears the name ‘Cults’. I consider culture and sensitivity as means of expression. I like to travel and write.<\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-6.jpg\" "\\"karen")
\nPhotography is a third eye that gives you sensitivity and allows you to immortalize scenes, when illustration is a way to enlighten and expression less complex than speech. My work captures the scenic illustration through the formal technique shriveled. I make portraits of animals and people with a definite expression. Textile design is also a way of expressing myself through textures forms and sensations while illustrating cloth with threads.<\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-4.jpg\" "\\"karen")
\nIt all starts by the constant need of visually explore the art of life. I do not have a specific drawing place where I need to feel comfortable with my paper and pen, and I wait for the work to begin to take life to decide if it will need colors or not. Putting lines and points together in order to create something is what I value and I like to do the most. <\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-3.jpg\" "\\"karen")
\nBack to the age of enlightenment, the ashurados and not the scientific view of things to give them an expressive sense. I draw everything from faces’ expressions to animals (and their wonderful fur), to objects, movements, and scenes, but constantly search the best way to infuse life in each and every illustration.<\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-2.jpg\" "\\"karen")
\nWorks that allows me to understand the artist’s life inspire me and leave me with a sense of great personal courage. The gestures of Egon Schiele, the impressionism of Monet (to name a few), but also the traditional and instinctive crafts developed by people of different cultures from around the world, who use basic shapes in order to create a visual culture are part of my personal influences.<\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-1.jpg\" "\\"karen")
\nIllustration can be applied to any medium, from a t-shirt to a stamp to the cover of a book. The important aspect for me is what the final result will transmit.<\/p>\n![\"karen](\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/karen-guttierez-5.jpg\" "\\"karen")
