Natalia Aguerre

Natalia Aguerre is a Graphic Designer graduated from the University of Buenos Aires. In 2022 she completed the Postgraduate Course in Professional Illustration at the same University. She considers drawing her main channel of expression. She likes to draw what surrounds her in everyday life but also to look for the unsettling. Humor, the deformed, the bizarre are the things that she is interested in portraying. One of the main pillars of her work is the experimentation with different techniques and tools and their combination, mixing analog techniques such as collage with some digital ones. “Hay un monstruo en la cocina” (Periplo) and ‘Una caja de libros’ (Superpoder Editorial) are two of the books that have been published with his illustrations. She has given numerous fanzine workshops and illustration workshops for the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. She is part of different artists and illustrators collectives, such as La vuelta al mes en 30 ilustradores, Yoli Taller and La nave de Ilustradores. She currently teaches Illustration I at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires.
