"Daily life and stress can make it hard to stay creative. What helps me is visiting exhibitions of illustrators or other artists, studying nature, or just doing things that clear my mind."

Gabi Fuentes (@furib_) is a Chilean artist based in Melbourne with a distinctive neon art style bursting with colour and organic shapes. From mushrooms to forest landscapes, she puts her own spin on what inspires her, adding mind-bending details like extra eyes, patterns, and surrealist imagery. 

Gabi's been creating ever since she was young and creativity has always been a huge part of her life. She finds her ideas in nature, music, community, and more, and her passion flows into her intricate use of colour and linework.
