All the letters in the Artist Book are fictitious but include original fragments of poems or letters by Fernando Pessoa.

I met Angeles twenty years ago as Head of Design for Children’s Programs at Mexico’s public television. I discovered a highly creative and innovative young designer who stood out for her vision, dedication and high quality of her work. Over the years we’ve continued to collaborate on many projects at many levels: I can’t think of anybody else when I want the best. She always brings a highly creative and innovative angle and it’s always a pleasure to work with her. I have nothing but praise for Angeles and recommend her highly when talent, vision and quality are at stake.
– Patricia Arriaga, Writer, Director & Producer
