A course by Lucia Serrano
Mexican tattoo artist and illustrator Lucía Serrano experimented with different creative disciplines until she found the professional path that was right for her. She combines illustration and tattooing, although her influences come from poetry, photography, music, and her personal experiences.
As can be seen in each of her designs, she specializes in black and white fine line. She collaborates with brands, although she also likes to work on independent projects that have meaning or that advocate a cause or raise social questions, such as giving voice to feminism, female empowerment, anxiety, or emotional processes that can be represented in a complex yet positive light.
