Nicolle Herrera or Nikkirev is a Colombian graphic designer who from a young age has developed a love and keen eye for art and visuals, as her parents are both art dealers. She has been drawing since then and a few years back, her work is inspired by the concept of surreal world and character building, along with the life story approach of numerous people.

Currently, Nikkirev has been working as a freelancer mainly for fashion and video game startups, as well as dedicating time to personal projects mixing 3D, motion graphics and music with the purpose of enhancing new sensory and storytelling experiences.

Limitless, fun, empowering and diverse points of view coming altogether “lighting the spark of the universe”, that’s how her work is to be described as. The whole concept of each piece revolves around visually constructing (whether the product ends up being an animation, illustration, photography or transmedia) surreal universes based upon people’s or a client’s positive life stories. It stays within the realm of people who with guidance, fun conversation and participation find out what lies beyond their initial set of words and thoughts.

These words and sentences tend to be what was forgotten at a time but retrieved to the memory, a battle against negativity and fear. It could be portraying a memorable childhood, the joy of connecting with others, day to day aspirations, remembering the compliments given to you or other elements which come in big or smaller sizes. This is the reason why different characters and geometric or organic colorful worlds are created, whether with traditional techniques, mixed media, digital software, stationary or with movement. She lets herself and others think out of the box and smile during the process, not letting fear overcome them and their ambitions or else, many opportunities and possibilities could be lost.
