(Illustration and comic portfolio: monizapata.com | 2D Animation Demo Reel: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ Hi! I’m a digital artist specializing in illustration and sequential narratives. My work blends the emotional complexity of everyday life with dreamlike, symbolic elements—always rooted in a distinctly Mexican perspective. I’m passionate about telling stories through authentic, diverse characters who challenge aesthetic norms and reflect real human dilemmas. In 2024, I co-created Tragarse la popularidad, a comic developed in collaboration with Casa del Autor Zapopan. The piece was featured in the anthology "Amor, horror y algo entre los dos" and selected for exhibition at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, LiberFilia 2024, and other cultural spaces. I’ve collaborated with creative studios like Gasolina and Studya, contributing my narrative and visual approach to team-based projects. In recognition of my academic commitment, I received Tecnológico de Monterrey's LiFE Award in 2024. Through every story I tell, I aim to create visual worlds where the impossible feels close—where each panel becomes a door to new ways of imagining, feeling, and connecting.
