Reviews
A course by Fiorella Ferroni Polchlopek
Fiorella Ferroni is inspired by the idea that the world, much like her work, is a collage where all the elements overlap and give new meaning to each other. She even considers herself a juxtaposition of sorts, given her heritage—a combination of Colombian, Italian, and Polish roots with a Caribbean spirit. She currently works as an illustrator and designer for a range of publishers, magazines, media outlets, cultural events, and organizations such as the Colombian Ministry of Culture and of Foreign Affairs, the Fundación para la Libertad de Prensa, La Silla Vacía, Arcadia, El Malpensante, Soho, and more.
Fiorella has also collaborated with programs like IDARTES and other independent institutions, sharing her knowledge through workshops. She likes to balance her professional work with personal projects, creating editorial designs and illustrations in her free time. Her work has been awarded at multiple events, including the International Image Festival in Mexico and the Ibero-American Design Biennials in Madrid.

Me parece casi más un viaje emocional y sensorial que un curso, tiene mucha delicadeza y las explicaciones se convierten casi en una ponencia muy bien estructurada. Me está encantando por lo diferente del enfoque
