I am Sandra Zegarra Patow, a Peruvian artist who graduated from IMD (Interactive Media Design) at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. I have a deep connection with my Peruvian roots and I create images that lay at the intersection of harmony and odd. Through distorted bodies, dreamy patterns, and by using nature`s color palette, the artworks that I conceive, invite the viewers to catch a glimpse of my mind.

As an artist, my creative practice is based on my intuition, my beliefs, and the connection I establish with the subjects. This approach is not only based on how I develop my projects but also on how I direct my path in life.

When it comes to creativity I like to get fuelled by my roots. I get influenced by culture, traditions, and history. The nostalgia always lies in the things I still have a strong connection with as well. In this way, I contribute to my part as an artist and being.

I get moved by the strong women who surround me. They give me fuel and confirm to me that we are incredible beings. I feel when I encourage anyone who gets drawn by my work that I can give a bit of myself to it. My work has a bit of humor, femininity, sexuality and sarcasm.

We live in a world of speed, where you can easily get distracted by everything around you and sometimes it can be very overwhelming. But it is very important to focus on the things that matter to you. What drives me and keeps me focused is creating a beautiful world where I can share stories and help people along the way. I only create and get involved in projects that I find beautiful or stimulating, and I try to have fun as much as possible during the process.

Equally important is that my work sparks discussions and develops new ways of thinking about how we see and perceive the world.
