Bio

My name is Atamayka and I’m a Venezuelan artist and designer living and working in Tirol, Austria.
I spent my childhood between Venezuela and Austin – Texas – in the U.S.A.

I graduated as a graphic designer at the “Jose Maria Vargas” university in Caracas. I then went on to study architecture at the “Universidad Central de Venezuela” in Barquisimeto. I dropped out on my third year while on a “short” vacation trip to Europe which has now lasted 18 years already.

I have been working as an artist since 2006.

+ Inspiration – Goal

I’m amazed by the infinity of beings I discover behind blind lines or colors, their imaginary lives and stories.
I hope you share with me the love of finding beauty in weirdness, playfulness and odd facial expressions.

+ Medium

The immediacy of acrylic painting appeals to me. Between my impatience to wait for drying and the urgencies of my baby girl, acrylic painting is my choice.
