My first choice for this article is someone extremely talented. Her name is Andrea Navarro.
Andrea Navarro was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, the second daughter to a lawyer and a painter. This combination of professions definitely helped to shape the Andrea we know and love; creative, determined and passionate.
After studying most of her life in Catholic Schools, she took a gap year after high school to exploit her artistic talents. She enroled in an 'Art and Design' course at Saint Martins, and from there everything kicked off.
She fell in love with London, like most of us do. She managed to prolong her stay by enrolling in as many short courses as she could fit in her schedule. By the end of the school year she was already gifted and applauded in Shoe and Handbag Making, Mixed Media Painting, Sculpture and Oil Painting to name a few.
This is what I love about her. The diversity, the harmony, the ability to do many different types of art and cross boundaries without any fear.
Now she lives in Guadalajara Mexico, where she is currently finishing a degree in Product Design.
Her style is so different and fresh, that on her first year as a university student she was approached by an interior design company to take part as one of their designers.
Her experience is not only found inside the canvas, she has slowly learnt about the business of Art. When in Mexico, she works as an Art Gallery Assistant, for the Natera Gallery, the place where she has observed how art is curated, sold, transported and produced.
At the age of 23 she has exhibited her work in Reina Sofia in Madrid, London, Mexico and New York. She is currently one of the finalists for a Tequila competition, in which a tequila barrel has to be creatively transformed into something fun. Her work is going to be showcased around the country, not to mention the high sum of money that she might win.
Andrea Navarro is my favourite product designer, her creativity is unlimited and her approach to art is unique!
