High Artist Spotlight: Natalí Gutíerrez García
Natalí Gutíerrez García is an artist based in Switzerland. Her art spreads through a variety of different fields like painting, illustration, movie making, editing, animation, writing, acting and more. The dark side in the human being in general plays a huge role in her art. Her creative process is very free. So for example, if she can work freely, sometimes she end ups with a documentary although she intended to make a theatre piece or a painting about something. But her base lies in visual arts. It always has. Maybe also because she has Aphantasia, so she literally needs to create the image outside of her brain to be able to see it.
