Still trying to process this one.

This summer has brought some pretty incredible surprises, and I never expected this to be one of them.

I’m super excited to share that I was named 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀.

A huge thank you to @mattvanrys , @professor.of.motion , and @ookeeman for pushing me to enter the competition, keep working on my portfolio, and always aim a little higher.

Energy in [FLUX] 🟩 CoMotion 2026 Official Title Sequence

An experiment to observe how energy flows and transforms between mechanics, light, and sound, and how those forces are perceived by the human body to eventually culminate in human emotion.

The creative direction for this project was rooted in curiosity and exploration. Understanding that every pixel is composed of elemental forces that give life to the universe.

Directed by Anaissa Ruiz Tejada ( @shethescientist ) and Cristian Sandoval ( @crioff )

🏆 Bronze IDA Award | Multimedia Broadcast

Our title sequence for The Morning Star just won Bronze at the IDA Awards. My first award for title design, and yes, I’m ridiculously happy about it ✨

Working with @annakporter was one of those rare collaborations where everything just clicked. We reimagined the book as a feature film and built a sequence that could live inside that world, cinematic, deliberate, and quietly surreal.

These frames hold weeks of late-night calls, reference rabbit holes, and that very specific kind of creative chaos that somehow turns into something you’re proud of.

Huge thanks to @ookeeman for the guidance, trust, and for giving us the space to explore every possible direction until the right tone revealed itself.

More to share soon. The full sequence and a detailed breakdown are coming 🎬

Grateful doesn’t quite cover it!!!

This one is truly special to me.

SUPERNOVA by Fatima Push isn’t just an incredible album; it’s a milestone for the band, and also for me as an artist. Working on this project opened new creative doors, allowing me to explore techniques, concepts, and visual languages that pushed my work forward in ways I deeply value. I’m endlessly grateful to my talented friends @fatimapushofficial for trusting me, for letting me experiment, and for inviting me into the amazing journey this album has been.

MARIA is the final cover I created for the record, a piece where dreams dissolve into pain and rage, and innocence finally burns away.

Long live SUPERNOVA!

Listen to MARIA now on all music platforms

Unveiling MONUMENTOS, another visual chapter from @fatimapushofficial debut LP, SUPERNOVA.

This artwork embodies the rebellion of the spirit against the structures that seek to define it, a portrait of resistance born from fire and faith.
Inspired by the final moments of Policarpa Salavarrieta, it reflects the courage of those who rise knowing the cost of freedom.

Here, the body becomes a monument, a symbol of defiance carved by sacrifice, standing against the weight of power and history.

Huge thanks to my friends Fatima Push for allowing me to be part of this amazing story!

MONUMENTOS is now streaming on all platforms.

Next chapter in the visual world of @fatimapushofficial debut LP, SUPERNOVA.

SIERVO dives deeper into the symbolic war between self and self-image — a poker game where the stakes are nothing less than identity itself. This piece embodies the tension between devotion and decay, between the voice that submits and the one that still resists.

The artwork channels the track’s visceral duality: servitude wrapped in desire, sacrifice masked as power.

A self-offering made to the altar of capital, where love becomes addiction, and freedom, a myth.

“SIERVO” is out now on all platforms.

A poetic journey through memory, pain, and resilience.

This End Credits Sequence was created for Mariposas de la Eternidad, a student short film directed by the talented VFX artist Veronica Ramírez @veritorb99 . Inspired by the aesthetics of magical realism, the film reflects on the invisible scars left by over six decades of armed conflict in Colombia.

I had the honor of designing, directing, and animating the end credits—transforming symbols like butterflies and flowers into visual metaphors of life and death, beauty and sorrow, presence, and memory.

Rooted in the narrative traditions of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American storytelling, this piece is both a visual farewell and an emotional echo.

I’m excited to share the very first visual we created for @fatimapushofficial debut LP, SUPERNOVA.

"ALIAS" was the beginning — the key visual that shaped the entire visual identity of the project.

This artwork explores the struggle of the self with its alter ego inside the maze of the mind — a confrontation between reflection and distortion, the self and its shadow, the voice that resists being silenced.

It opened the path for what became an intense and deeply symbolic journey.
"ALIAS" is now streaming on all platforms.

I’m excited to share another hit from my dear brothers, @fatimapushofficial along with the cover art that I had the pleasure of creating for this incredible journey called SUPERNOVA.

"RAW" is a new single from Fatima Push's debut LP, SUPERNOVA. The song and the cover art reflect the existential journey and struggle against imposed deities and superstitions. It represents a one-way trip in search of answers that go beyond the gods.

... In a pedestal of Shame
You built everything
My love, my enemies, my hope, my soul...

Be sure to check out RAW on all music platforms now!

About two years ago, I was facing some challenges regarding my career path and my passion for art and design. I thought I was ready to move on and find a new direction that would reignite the excitement I once felt for design. One ordinary and boring day at work, my dear friends @joshua.med and @juanesteban_bass reached out to me to discuss a freelance opportunity. We had been collaborating on cover art design for their incredible music project: @fatimapushofficial . I was genuinely interested because I love the band, their music, and the creative freedom Fatima has always offered me during our time working together.

However, this meeting felt different. They were embarking on an exciting journey to create their first LP! The best part was that they wanted me to handle all the visual work for this major project. It felt as though the universe was guiding us in a particular direction.

Fast forward two years, and I find myself living in another country, studying the things I have wanted to learn throughout my adult life and creating artworks like this particular project that gave me all the freedom to bring my vision over. I’ve created nearly eight cover art, two visualizers, one lyric video, and a ton of graphic material to share. And, of course, there’s an incredibly cool and powerful new album!

I´m thrilled to introduce SUPERNOVA, the debut LP from my talented friends FATIMA PUSH! This project has been an incredible journey for all of us, opening new doors for learning and creativity, as well as producing an audiovisual piece of art we can all be proud of. I want to extend my gratitude to FATIMA for the freedom and confidence they provided me to develop such amazing work.

So please, dear folks, go listen to the new album SUPERNOVA, available on all music platforms, and stay tuned for future releases from FATIMA PUSH!
