︎︎︎ íris is a visual project inspired by three films: The Virgin Suicides (1999) by Sofia Coppola, Todo sobre Mi Madre (1999) by Pedro Almodóvar, and Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The project began as an analysis of these films and evolved into a zine, designed to tell short narratives with a focus on visual storytelling. Drawing from Dada and Pop art, the project includes experimental acrylic ink paintings, food photographs altered with permanent markers, and hand-cut collages with acrylic tint. The zine later transformed into a poster, reflecting the aesthetics and themes of the films while forming the creative foundation for my visual language. At its heart, íris tells the story of a mysterious, insecure, yet rebellious and brave woman—capturing not only the essence of the film characters but also symbolizing the spirit of women in the early 21st century.

All íris’ pieces were printed in Risograph, a print technique that values its flaws and unique colored overlays, the perfect match for this project.

︎︎︎ íris zine has been showcased in over ten art fairs/exhibitions worldwide and is featured in many libraries across the globe. For further information, please visit my About me page.
