She has illustrated five books, with titles receiving recognition in international book design competitions and exhibitions.

“While my art is rooted in personal storytelling, it resonates universally, evoking emotions relating to childhood wonder and imagination. By blending fantasy and reality I create a space where viewers can momentarily escape, reflect and reconnect with their inner child. These figures embark on adventures through fantastical lands, mysterious empires, and undiscovered realms, transforming personal experiences into visual narratives.” – Stefhany Y. Lozano

WHY WE LOVE IT?
Crisp, flat imagery punctuated with personal flair. Blatant use of a youthful and vibrant aesthetic, matured by clear technical prowess and narrative bends toward collective consciousness.
