My name is Carmen Cobian; I am an explorer, creator, and a kid at heart. I love to explore and try new things, growing up, I developed an interest in astronomy, geology, music, and art. My hobbies aside from art are writing poetry, going out on my longboard throughout Stockton and taking photos, I also love going to cars shows, and stargazing in my backyard. Though I have many hobbies and interest, art has always been my true passion. I love just about any form of art from theater arts, and music, to drawing and painting. I grew up having something in my hand to help me create something new. If I didn’t have a pencil or paintbrush in my hand, I had my camera or some martial for my latest sculptor.

 

I am Mexican-American, and many of my art pieces are greatly inspired by my cultural heritage and history. Since a young age, the celebration behind Day of the Dead had always fascinated me. The meaning behind the holiday and the colors and decoration are beyond beautiful. Some of my favorite artist and inspiration growing up are Diego Rivera, José Guadalupe Posada, and Carlos Amorales.

 

I always knew I wanted to have a career in art, I just didn't know what. I then learned about graphic design in high school, and I was hooked. The thing I love about graphic design is that it always me to combine all my interest into one. I can combine my interest in drawing and photography to help me create a great work of art. One of the things that I love about being a graphic designer is that it allows me to help clients see their dreams and visions come true. I help my client compose their dreams into reality.
