Alexiacas is pseudonym I use to submit my works of collage and digital art. I am a graphic designer from Lima-Peru. I started doing personal projects as a way of expression, and then took it to a professional level.
Your works are very bright and colourful. what or who has inspired this?
My inspiration from the beginning has been my son. And the memories and stories of my childhood. It started from the pregnancy stage.

Do you have any future projects that you would like to share with us?
Currently, I am working on an experimental audio visual project. Keeping my style and adding value to all my work. The idea is to continue to enjoy what I am doing.
