Rios has a strong influence from South Korea, and has always been fascinated by its culture and language. Her interest for typefaces are often seem on her artworks. Swedish and Korean alphabet have most of her favorite letters which she likes to apply with her works.
During Summer 2017, Rios was asked to portrait herself. This request came from her teacher at Central Saint Martins. She created an image based on her past, present and what she thinks her future is. The llama represents herself as the centrum.

In April 2018, Claudia Rios created two pictures for the Easter holidays. She wanted the pictures to radiate something fun and that would break the usual colors associated with Easter. Through photography and digital processing, she achieved a fine result with colored eggs and marzipan chicken in focus.

Invitations
Here are some examples and design experiments C.R made for the invitations.
C.R really enjoy working with typography, patterns and colors. She wanted to reflect this on her invitations. Using these elements is always crucial in any creation of her as it's her kind of signature and current style.
There are some of the keywords used during the making process
1.- colorful 2.- typhography 3.- curiosity 4.-simplicity 5.- elegance
C.R experimented with different colors, shapes and created her own fonts. She avoided in revealing any complete picture in advance. I created a layout that showed just part of the work in a subtle way.
