Valfré Zodiac Girls - Fire Signs

DesignerCon 2022 Collection

Ilse Valfré is a Mexican contemporary artist known for eccentric female characters showcasing a wide range of emotion. Her signature retro futurist style is at once modern and vintage, and resonates with a large community. From Playas De Tijuana, a border-town where the US and Mexican border wall disappears into the Pacific, Valfré’s unique style developed at the countries’ and cultures’ intersection. From a young age, her exploration outside of traditional genres welcomed contrast and harmony, beginning with drawing as therapy and becoming a new world that celebrates the female spirit. In 2013, Ilse founded Valfré with a mission to create unique products and experiences that are a direct reflection of the psychedelic world that she has created. Ilse has long viewed the internet as her art gallery and her site as the gift shop. With her varied background across digital and analog art, Ilse’s creativity is not bound by the confines of one medium, allowing her to freely explore.
