About Fia
Fia grew up in a Mexican American household that moved around the Los Angeles Valley. Throughout her life, she struggled with attending catholic schools and finding solace in their sexuality. Now, she spends her days healing their inner child by digitally painting her experience in Photoshop. (Click here to see current tools.)
PERSONAL ARTExecuted exclusively on Procreate and Photoshop, using an Xp-pen tablet, iPad Pro, and iMac, my art depicts individuals with thin lines, minimal lighting, and soft rendering in soft colors and curves. This artistic style is not only an artistic choice; it's a reflection of my personal aesthetic, emphasizing softness and cuteness. A digital medium aligns with my struggle with OCD, offering a clean and organized canvas. I will not always draw my daily struggles with mental illness and instead create art that evokes happiness and healing. Drawing inspiration from favorite TV shows like Mononoke, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and Arcane, these shows in particular for their specific aesthetics of color and texture. I interact and learn along with fellow Twitter artists and explore cultural enclaves like Little Tokyo. Similar to the post-war cuteness movement in Japan, I use my art as a catalyst for me to show off my aesthetic and individuality. In my perfectionist, detail-oriented process, it can take me days to weeks to finish a project. The result of my work is a style that radiates cuteness, softness, silliness, and storytelling.GRAPHIC DESIGNWhile struggling early on with battling the average teenage sisyphus experience, I found my main focus in life would be graphic design as a form of artistic expression and success. Graphic design is an outlet to harmonize my developed artistic talent with a promising career. I am inspired by graphic design professors, previous trends throughout history, and in kpop, in the form of eye-catching promotions and their use of trendy fonts. I try to channel my creativity to bring attention to the products and media I present to the market. I undergo a detail-oriented process and collaborate with clients, ensuring each detail aligns with their expectations. While my graphic design style embodies a combination of text and shape, marked by a non-uniform, ever-changing, painted style. My type of painted style calls for my artistic skills, offering a contemporary perspective to challenge the current trends of minimalism in the graphic design field.
