The Unspoken Truth is a series of webcomics created by Venezuelan artist Maria Guadarrama that feature a unique blend of emotional humor, taking the reader from lighthearted chuckles across to deep philosophical musings.

“I think the kind of people who enjoy my comics are the ones who like to take a look inside of them and the origin of their feelings,” Maria told Bored Panda. “Introspective and sensitive people, people who are in love.”

Maria works as a graphic designer as her day job, illustrating for The Unspoken Truth as a part-time job and hobby in the evenings. Art is her passion and has been since early childhood, and she takes her drawing inspiration from all the things that happen to her in her daily life. Maybe that's why these relatable comics hit home to so many.

Now living in Santiago, Chile, she feels a deep sadness about the way things have gone in her homeland. “It makes me feel hopeless and frustrated, especially when I think of my parents who are still living there,” she told us. “When I was in Venezuela, I worked for one of the most important newspapers there. But since the people who owned the newspaper were from the government, they were very specific about the subjects I was allowed to draw. I couldn't draw about politics or migration or economy.”

“There was a censorship of my funny comics because the power of doodling is big, I guess. Drawings make us approach knowledge in the way a child does. On the other hand, in South America, in general, there are a lot of illustrators with a strong voice and strong opinions, especially in Argentina and Mexico.”

While Maria says that she always tends to feel like an outsider, no matter where she goes, she is passionate about her country and longs for better days. You can read a beautiful and powerful comic about her thoughts on the situation in Venezuela here, it is a real eye-opener. She also has many similar works on her pages, which you can find linked below. Scroll down to check out her cute drawings on being in love and searching for those good relationships, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Achieved everything alone, without family or friends, which I don't have anyway.

You can if you think you can. If you think you can't, you're right. (to paraphrase)

No matter how great your pain, there is someone else dealing with more pain than yourself. You have to be willing to take chances in order to heal.

Even in broken relationships, love can still exist "at a distance"

Regarding the breasts, it reminded me of a question I saw earlier on a site. A girl asked why women needs breasts when milk from goat, cows and so on are available...

...Yes! Don't use other people as scapegoats and pull them down just to fill the hole in your heart. You'd just end up hurting them and hurting yourself more.

An untrustworthy person will diminish your self esteem. You need to build it back up again.

I forgave both of my ex-husbands years ago. I'm now on good terms with my children's Father. The other one, I had to write out of my life. Sometimes that's the only way.

A little yappy dog PERFECTLY represents anxiety. It's always there, nipping your heels and trying to get your attention; you can maybe calm it down, but not always.

Sometimes you have to actively let the good things in (sunshine) and work to get rid of the bad things :)
