Jorge Tellaeche is mexican, his work has a direct relationship with organic forms and color developed from dreamlike chaotic landscapes to a more explosive,
energetic interpretation of the same motif.
His murals that are charged with social commentary and sarcasm.
This mural is located in W Hotel Mexico, this has a very dreamlike vibe, a romantic but yet relaxed mood that i tried to proyect by the use of pastel, pink, mint, lavander an turqoise to creat a relaxed, femenine but sexy look with the touch of lace and sequins

He uses mainly black and white and represents a characteristic animal of each region he's working in.

I think a sanke is a really bad ass animal, so I made a bad ass outfit inspired by the snake itself, a cohesive look with pieces by D&G, Alexander Wang and Dr. Martens.
Dark clothes with the use of metals to represent de light of his work,
