A course by Sofia Castellanos
Sofía Castellanos, apart from being an artist and muralist, is a compulsive dreamer and lover of butterflies. Born in Mexico, she began by expressing her passions on the walls of her hometown and, later, spread her art internationally through group and individual exhibitions.
This opened the doors for her to later work with brands such as Nike, Bombay Sapphire, Carolina Herrera, and Kipling, among others. As an artist, the mural is one of her favorite formats, since it has given her the opportunity to express her art without limits.
