Mar Hernández

Mar Hernández aka Malota is one of my top illustrators/artists out there. I have not posted any entry on her yet mainly because I would like to do so once she is finished with a commission custom piece for me. Credits to sleepboy for introducting Mar's works through his commissioned custom Rolitoboy, done beautifully and elegantly.


"Malota loves music and draws in her moleskine while having coffee with friends. She has a deep obsession about the colors of her pieces, scrupulously working the color scheme until obtaining the tonalities that generate the sensations that she wants to transmit in each work. Another special interest to her is the symmetry present in most of her works, an axial symmetry that makes her characters look more static and blunt, strange and enigmatic. Aspects of geometry, tangram, and origami also hold great interest for Maltoa and are usually found in her work. Many individuals find oriental signs in Mar's work, due to the Japanese and Chinese culture that are such a source of inspiration for the artist. "

I really love the lines, they are so free flow that they do not take up any form but eventually do become something. Another thing to note is that I absolutely adore purple or colours almost equivalent, which quite a number of her works take up of. She does pretty cards too that make excellent gifts.
