about Danila…
Danila Cervantes is a queer Latinx interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Los Angeles, CA. They grew up on the border bouncing between Calexico and Mexicali in Baja California, Mexico. Its vast desert and mixed cultural landscape have always inspired their artwork. Personal myths and Mexican folk tales spark colorful imagery that they translate into illustrations and animations of tender creatures adapting to natures cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
They graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design where they studied film and animation. Their creative background and experience in visual arts inform their approach to education, fostering curiosity and love for creativity. With a deep belief in the power of art to heal and transform, they strive to create meaningful experiences that empower individuals to explore their artistic potential and embrace joy through self-expression.
They work as a teaching artist with various nonprofit arts organizations across LA such as Barnsdall Junior Art Center, Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) and Craft Contemporary.
Danila is available for freelance, personal commissions, and collaborations. Please feel free to email and reach out!
