I made this set of artwork combining illustration and photography to enlighten the consequences of the obsession with beauty.

It took me four months between investigation, illustration and photo shoot to complete a total of twenty pieces. At the end I made an exhibition. This are my favorite seven.

Since I was a child I created colorful worlds. Endless chewed pencils, hundreds of paper sheets were my best friends. Drawing nonsense scribbles which I proudly called “kids” are the first memories I have of my life; As I grew, drawing and illustrating became my language and after I finished my studies in Engineering of Graphic Design they became my passion and livelihood.

Such a tiny percent of the population in the west are indeed annorexic or over exericsing, and while this can be damaging, what about most our population being over weight, we are we not making art about this non stop, the real issue! I think we should tackle the large issue that most of us suffer from rather than distracting our self with how bad anorexia is.
