Adriana Castaneda was born in Mexico City in 1969. She studied for her 4-year bachelor's degree at Universitad Intercontinental in Mexico. She continued her studies in Visual Communication and Typography at the Basel School of Design in Switzerland, for 3 1/2 years. She has worked with some of the best designers in the world such as Niklaus Troxler in Switzerland, Chermayeff & Geismar in New York, Mariscal in Barcelona, and Dan Reisinger and David Tartakover in Tel Aviv.
Motivated by the need to discover a personal style of artistic expression, Adriana Castaneda traveled around the world painting watercolors and experimenting with different textures, colors, and materials. Through plain-air painting, Adriana Castaneda translated into a graphic language the feeling of being part of a landscape. The style of her work is a combination of the spontaneity and joy of Mexican people, the functionality and simplicity of the Basel School of Design, and the emotion of the Holy Land in Israel.
Adriana Castaneda works as a graphic and web designer from her studio in Jerusalem, which complements and enriches her watercolor artwork.
