Olatz

Ink and watercolor, 20 x 20 cm.

Fantasy, courage, vigor, and resilience. Olatz Vázquez, a young journalist and photographer, made her battle against cancer visible through social media, documenting the different stages of the disease with her photographs and self-portraits. She revealed life's darker side without filters, yet with exquisite delicacy and elegance. Sadly, she passed away a year after her diagnosis at the age of 27. This illustration is my tribute to her, expressing my deep admiration and respect, and thanking her for the lessons she taught us through her courage and talent.
