MAURA BEAR
[BENÍTEZ ARELLANO]
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a background in industrial design. After changing paths, my practice grew through experimentation, constant learning, and the people I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with.
I enjoy learning, blending techniques, and turning stories into visual systems. My work often reflects my love for food, music, and art—and I’m especially drawn to projects in those areas. You can take a closer look into my process here.

MY FAV PART
Experiment with textures and colors while learning a lot about typesettingThe FAO Investment Centre supports sustainable agrifood systems worldwide. Contributing to its Annual Reviews through Studio Malpeso was especially meaningful to me, given my long-standing interest in food systems and production.
Shown here are two recent editions of the FAO Investment Centre Annual Review. Built from a shared visual system, each edition develops its own tone through editorial layout, data visualization, and collage-based artwork.
