Alicia Márquez

Alicia Márquez is a letter and text artist who uses typography, lettering, and calligraphy as tools to constantly search for expression.

Graduated as a graphic design from the University of Buenos Aires–where she also taught typography–she worked as an art director in different advertising agencies and in-house design departments in Buenos Aires, Miami, and Chicago.

She has learnt and practiced calligraphy and lettering for 14 years, and letter carving for 6 years. She defines herself as an intense observer and eternal student. As an artist, Alicia thinks the journey is more important than the outcome itself, and she encourages an open interpretation and constructive criticism. As a designer, she is always looking for the clear, simple, minimalistic way to communicate. The artist and the designer in her meet every day, in every project, and usually (but not always) they get along well.
