MAURA BEAR
[BENÍTEZ ARELLANO]
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a background in industrial design. I started learning on my own and have grown thanks to the people I’ve been lucky to collaborate with.
I love learning, blending techniques, and turning stories into visual systems. My work often reflects my love for food, music, and art—and I especially enjoy projects in those areas.

MY FAV PART
The freedom of creating while learning to embrace the mistakes of the loose hand. And the textures!
Self-defined as a cultural project, Electric Banana is an ever-changing venue where art and food collide. The goal was to craft an identity that captures its quirky, experimental spirit and laid-back vibe.
By embracing a free-form approach, the visual direction speaks to those looking for more than just a meal—something sensory, playful, and full of texture. This work is a celebration of artistic diversity, with every illustration crafted through mixed media techniques that blend pastels, calligraphy ink, and digital layering.
