Branding Photoshoot by Edelle & Co

Pom Graphic Design // Branding Photoshoot

Original Post - July 10, 2016

“My mission is simple. I always believed we are in this world to do our part, to leave our mark, and that is what I intend to do in the best way possible. I dream, I envision, therefore I create and I try my best to make this world a better place with what I can offer. I know art is a beautiful and real way to unite humanity, so I always intend to reflect what is real to me, to leave a positive mark and happy fulfilled clients. ”

- Pamela

I always struggle on how to start a blog post. First sentences either make or brake a post and your attention, so it's kind of a big deal to get it right. This mission statement definitely makes the impact I wanted.

As I was reading the questionnaire I sent to Pamela as part of the branding process I go through, I always like to ask business owner's the mission for their business. I can honestly say that this is my favorite part of the questionnaire because most of the mission statements are quite gorgeous. Pamela's from Pom Graphic Design is simply beautiful. It's been said that beauty is within, and Pamela is just that: a gorgeous soul who honestly wants to do good in this world through her art.

Inspired by her home country, Peru, Pamela designs her artwork with a lot of color and patterns unique to the Peruvian culture. Oh, and she gets lots of inspiration from her two adorable pugs (how hands down are the cutest little pugs you'll ever see).

In this photoshoot, rather than highlighting her products, we showed more of her personal side at home with her hubby, in her colorful and vibrant office (and cute garden).

Artist of the week on Juniqe! February 2015

HAPPY HOUR WITH POM GRAPHIC DESIGN

Interview originally from: http://blog.juniqe.com/blog/2015/02/05/happy-hour-pom-graphic-design/

Miami-based artist Pamela Gallegos has a passion for creating dreamlike realms that feature a medley of Inca-inspired elements. Her flamboyant mixed-media artworks have a hallucinatory quality and are strongly influenced by her Peruvian roots, her travels and the natural world. We took her for a drink to pick her brains.

What are you drinking?
Rather than cocktails, I am more of a wine person. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good Pisco Sour, our traditional drink in Peru, I just can’t find it in happy hour bars around here.

If you weren't an artist what would you be?
Without overthinking this question, my first thought would be a psychologist. I am always amazed by the power we behold in our minds, we can make or break ourselves with just our thoughts, it’s simply amazing. Another option would be something like an archaeologist whilst happy traveling around the globe.

You say your work is strongly influenced by your Peruvian roots, the travels you’ve been on and the natural world. Can you tell us more about these influences?
Most definitely. I started traveling within my country at a young age. During these travels I was completely captivated and inspired by all that my fascinating culture had to offer, and still am. I recently re-visited one of the places that I find the most inspiring which is Machu Picchu, great way to start my 2015 recharged with only positive and powerful energies from such a mystic place.
Travelling can be very inspiring, fulfilling and awakening and it definitely played a big role in my development into the artist that I am today. In most of my illustrations you see not only a variety of colours and shapes, but also elements of nature in some abstract iconic way, maybe even inspired as well by my ancestors, the Incas.

What are the three things in life that you couldn’t do without?
Family, my dogs (which count as family), chocolate and a good laugh.

What’s your favourite place in the world and why?
I guess I have some more travelling to do to answer this question, but the one place where I travelled (recently as well) and I feel like I belong there, like it is my mother earth, my second home where I feel deeply connected to the soil, surroundings, animals and more. That place would be the Amazonian jungle of Tambopata, Peru.

What keeps you up at night?
Unfinished drawings or exciting projects.

What music or tune are you listening to a lot these days?
I recently moved to a new home, and whilst organising my studio, I found peace by listening to French Bossa Nova.

You create extremely intricate patterns by hand. How long does it take to create one of these illustrations and do you find working on such detail fun or frustrating?
It depends, but usually they take me about 2 weeks to complete. The detailed and intricate aspect of my art is the most fun part to me. Even when my hand starts cramping and losing all sensitivity I keep going! It is my happy place, where I can let my mind wander freely. I do create as well some digital mixed media work, but what I enjoy the most is freehand illustration where my hand has a mind of its own and it’s singing and dancing to its own compass.

Colours or patterns?
Both!! I can’t do one without the other, they are like soulmates in my artwork.

Thanks, Pamela
