"You should know, first of all, that I am called Natalia Matías Rivero or "Mainés de Latora" in professional circles, daughter of Hely Matías and Maria José Rivero, natives of Salamanca. My birth was not in the river Tormes, for which reason I did not take the nickname"; I could well begin this presentation, since like Lázaro de Tormes, I was born in Salamanca, a small but beautiful city in the northwest of Spain.

At the age of 22, I haven't planted a tree, I haven't become independent, and even without writing a book, I am the artist of the family. I am also a dancer, a graphic design student, an art and history lover. I like the music of "La Movida", the yellow people of Albert Espinosa and I am as curious as a cat. I have discovered Miguel Hernández's greatest pain, love, through Neruda and even Unamuno managed to convince me. I have soaked up a lot of cinema, literature, experiences and stories. And this is only the beginning of everything that awaits me.

Graphic designer based in Salamanca. She develops her work within the field of editorial design, giving special importance to the processes of printing, production and the resulting final artwork. Visually, her work is distinguished by the importance of colour and typography. In her creative processes she tries to create a mix between the digital and analogue worlds, bringing experimental design to the table.
