The Lazy Jellyfish is a new childrenswear brand based in Barcelona.

They built a site themselves with Indexhibit, but their core and style would not come across clearly. For that reason I redesigned their site, creating a series of patterns which helps them communicating their message of vibrance and innovation, a new navigation and a web shop.

The Folio Society announced their yearly competition. Huxley's Brave New World was the piece to make illustrations for.

I am not an illustrator myself, but I read this book at the age of fifteen and it left a huge imprint on me. Since I feel strongly about the text, I thought I'd take a chance with some digital collages.

Venisha is a young artist whose work explores the materiality of film and sound through the use of tape.

For her post graduate debut, Venisha was in need of an identity to introduce her work into a professional enviroment. For this I created her visual Identity, website and business cards.

Business Cards

Many words are falling into oblivion whereas others are constantly acquiring new meanings.

Technology is morphing the way we use words, imposing restrictions, confining grammar and creating generic vocabulary, which reflects our present time.

Text box is a contemporary approach to the Surrealist technique of writing known as automatic writing, which consists of producing text without being consciously aware of its content. This project uses a letter from Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet as a starting point and employs computerized writing without any coercion, the process is triggered by the sound picked up from its immediate environment.

The software’s ability to interpret sounds as words is restricted to the grammar file embedded in it, which consists of over a thousand nouns extracted from Rilke’s original text.


The match between the input and the grammar file is then displayed on the screen, continuously reconstructing the original letter, regenerating its content and meaning while keeping its original grammatical structure.

The text which embodies this piece of work is an extract from the french writer and poet , Christian Bobin’s
Autoportrait au radiateur,
to whom and which I would like to pay homage.

Bobin's writings have the capacity to evoke light and wideness within the reader.

This greatness in his writing has enable the construction of a visual metaphor that steps away from the realm of usual typographical posters, but allows, as the writer does, light and wideness to live within his words.

This that and the other is a layered project and consists of four sections:

  • 0/ Our research material is presented in the publication numbered zero. Alongside the initial reading, essays written by M Minkova and M M Carrasco are to be found at the bottom of the pages of the printed material in this publication. Please note that the pages of publication zero must be torn along the fold in order to be read. Publication zero also hosts the images of our research, which are published in order of appearance providing a visual timeline of our research.
  • 1/ The first paper hosts the essays written by
    M Minkova and M M Carrasco, with their corresponding pictures. The material is curated and laid out conscious.
  • 2/ The second paper hosts the essays written by
    M Minkova and M M Carrasco, with their corresponding pictures. The material is curated and laid out under the random function embedded in Processing
  • 3/ The third paper hosts the essays written by
    M Minkova and M M Carrasco, with their corresponding pictures. The material is curated in ascending order under the hierarchical elements, eg: authors date of birth, number of words, date accessed ect.
  • 4/ Our Website explains the overall of the project and invites people to suggest new hierarchies in which to order the information. For optimum performance this website should be previewed in Google Chrome Browser.

JCKSA is a Scholar Association based in The USA, I got to help them with the design and illustrations for their newsletters during a couple of months.
These newsletters were for internal use only, and their aim was to strengthen their student and alumni sense of community.

The Cut was an ambitious project hosted in the fashion platform TSTYLESU
Only five issues were launched.
I was responsible for the art direction and the editorial design.

A stack of 150 sheets of photosensitive paper were left to soak in light for 22 hours.

This exercise studies the physical limitations of light sensitive objects.

8 bits is a teaser.

A camera that films always backwards delivers a present image to the audience thanks to a mirror located on the front of the lens. The hand made set approaches the public to a 3D grid, that transports the audience to an early 80's digital environment.

“Kinesphere is the area that the body is moving within and how the mover is paying attention to it”

Recently artists have exploited choreography in order to explore sociopolitical structures and mechanisms of manipulation. In their works choreography becomes an analogy for the external powers that control the physical, psychological and spatial aspects of our actions.

For the making of this video, we have chosen one of those spaces where society is forced into a certain behavior, and where a limited amount of movements lead to the main aim.

We chose a supermarket as our research area. Supermarkets are restrictive places, where only a handful of movements are performed, towards the same aim.

Leadign to a pattern of movements that is followed and repeated by the users of the supermarket, but performed subconsciously, and therefore not realizing that a kinetic pattern is being created

The movements have been detached from the action, performing them in an abstract plane, where their representation becomes a celebration of those movements.
