My name is María del Pilar Dueñas Pardo, and everyone calls me pili =)

My friends describe me as witty, adventurous and passionate. I am always looking for new topics to dive in, revel, and learn. I love to share, and have discovered that generosity, sincerity and transparency always lead to amazing new adventures, experiences and lovely friends.

I possess bulletproof optimism and endless energy, I absolutely love to work, I like to stay busy. Invested occupation is my own recipe for steady mindfulness.

For me, lazy laid back vacations are truly challenging, this is one of the reasons I love to work independently on varied pojects, I need the hustle. During 2017 I journeyed across Latin America by foot using couchsurfing and workaway, and it was a mind blowing experience.

I studied psychology, and by force of will came to be a psychologist, but my passion is to explore Art in every imaginable form.

I am marvelled with Latin-American history, I like to learn about our ancestors, their costumes, paintings, rituals and cities.

I also adore animals, I enjoy sharing with them and enjoy of an occasional documentary.

As I said, I am crazy about Art. My creations and chosen media are always mutating. From drawing and illustrating, to songwriting and singing, painting and crafts, murals, graffiti, game design, and more.

I dream of a world where we looooove nature, enjoy heaven on earth and cohabit in peace. I believe in this dream and that is why I work towards it every day.

To stay sane and grounded I practice yoga, swim, run and play whatever sport comes my way.

Bottomline, I love to have fun, enjoy the moment laugh and share.
