I was fortunately to have worked on this piece as part of a project for McCann Ecuador and UDLA (Quito, Ecuador). The render was created specifically for the 2018 Latm Journalism Awards “Cóndor de Oro.”

Our composition, Luis Miguel vs. Nicaragua, was recognized as a finalist in the Prints category for its striking visual storytelling.

“Luis Miguel vs. Nicaragua is a satirical visual commentary highlighting the bizarre yet powerful influence of pop culture over real-world events. The artwork juxtaposes the glamorous image of Latin music icon Luis Miguel with the harsh political and social turmoil in Nicaragua, reflecting how media and celebrity often overshadow critical issues in public discourse. By blending bold visual contrasts and symbolic elements, the piece invites viewers to question the narratives that dominate headlines and consider the deeper stories left in the background.“
