My name is Maria Fallada Llandrich (with pronouns she/they). I am a visual artist, graphic designer, cultural worker and guerrilla gardener born in Barcelona, based in Berlin.
My practice is rooted in the enigmas of the mundane and inspired by human-non-human encounters and relationships. It develops through the exploration and co-creation of spaces for resilience, mending, critical thinking and community. Drawing is for me a mother language and, as other creative practices, a means to connect with people and my surroundings, re-enchant worlds and engage in counter-narratives.
