Tree women that stare blindly at space – firmly – and dream about travelling the world; fragile and strong couples, connected by lines of color that do exist beyond the edges of the frame; children who do not know, moss men, perfect musicians. The apocalyptic mess inside a rabbit. Artist Carmen Segovia was born in Barcelona in 1978, where she studied illustration. She has been living between Barcelona and Mexico City for a while, from where she gives life to dark and shiny book characters and draws for newspapers, magazines and music projects.
