My grandma's house - Ilus.Galería

La Casa de Mi Abuela is the final project for the first year of the illustration postgraduate program at the University of Buenos Aires. This work brings together a series of images that, with tenderness and nostalgia, tell the stories that breathe life into a space filled with love and warmth. Inspired by memories and shared moments in the grandmother’s house, the project seeks to capture the essence of a place that feels like a refuge, where every corner holds echoes of laughter, embraces, and the timeless promise of home.
