Bio:

I am a London based Salvadorean artist and illustrator Gabriela Larios. I received a Masters from Camberwell College of Arts, UK in 2007 thanks to an Alban Scholarship. I create whimsical and colourful illustrations that celebrate my deep love of children’s books, textiles and folk art. My creative world derives from my interest in storytelling and the natural world. There is a naive and playful spirit captured in my work and a strong connection between memories of my childhood in El Salvador and my body of work: houses, mountains, tortoises, fish, plants, birds and all the colourful creatures and elements found in my art.
