Hi there! I’m Sopa Rosa, a Mexican visual artist and illustrator currently living in the UAE. I’m passionate about exploring new cultures through art, roller skating, and textiles. My creative work blends embroidery, painting, and illustration.

One of my personal goals is to host at least one workshop in every country I visit, sharing my knowledge of embroidery and illustration along the way. I truly believe that the most genuine art comes from exchange and collaboration, so I’m always excited to connect with others and share experiences and ideas.

When I’m not immersed in art, you might find me roller skating around town, getting into video games, or spending time on other creative hobbies like tattooing, photography, singing, or hula-hooping. I also have days when walking is a bit challenging, but that's another story.

While I’m not traveling as much as I used to, I’m still curious and eager to connect with people and explore new adventures whenever I can. If you’re up for a chat about art, culture, or just sharing some creative vibes, I’d love to hear from you!
