María Sylvia Llamozas A.K.A ia Llamozas, was born in 1983 and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Having grown up in a tropical country, very near to the ocean and surrounded by exuberant vegetation and fauna, she fell in love with nature. Throughout her life, she has also been fascinated by art and storytelling, which drove her to study Journalism.
Once graduated, she moved to Barcelona, Spain, where the rich artistic culture and creative atmosphere that surrounded her made her want to explore her artistic inclinations in a deeper manner. After taking several art courses, but being mainly self-taught, she delved into the practice of collage art. What she cherishes the most from this medium is the ability to tell stories through the images that she collects and puts together with artistic joy.
In 2020, ia started to teach online courses on how to create collage and everything about this wonderful medium. With more than 350 students worldwide, what she loves the most is helping others to express themselves and find joy and calm through the act of creating. She primarily works with corporate teams and has been lucky to host experiences for companies such as Apple, Intel, Yelp, Etsy and Target among others. Her work has been exhibited in several cities in Spain including Madrid, where her work was selected by “La Colect” for its collective exhibition of emerging artists in Madrid (2015), and Barcelona, where she won 1st place in a collective exhibition of Ibero-American artists (June 2018). She has also created content for brands like Airbnb and Neubau Eyewear, as well as created editorial illustrations for magazines such as Vogue Spain. Selected press features include interviews with The Art Gorgeous and the HolaGwapa podcast.
She currently lives in Tenerife on the Canary Islands with her husband and French bulldog Lola, where she creates from her home studio.
