Joana Avillez

Biography

ジョアナ・アヴィレズはニューヨークで生まれ、ともに芸術家である両親のもとで育つ。
ロードアイランドデザイン学校で美術の学士号を、ビジュアルアートスクールでイラストレーションの修士号を取得している。
彼女は『描くこと』と『書くこと』を1つに合わせることが好きで、ドローイング力は素晴らしく、時には風刺が効いていたり、漫画のように楽しいものも得意とする。同世代の人々とだけではなく、母親の友人など、幅広い年代の人々とも仲良く過ごし、年齢、国籍など多様性の広い交際がとてもニューヨーカーらしい。2018年には、彼女とモリー・ヤングが共著した視覚的なテキストパズルの本「D C-T!」がペンギンプレスから出版された。

Joana Avillez was born in New York and grew up with parents who were both artists. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design and her Master’s degree in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts.
She says she likes “drawing” and “writing’’ together as one. With her excellent drawing skills, her sometimes satirical and fun works like manga are also well-received. She gets along well not only with people of her own age, but also with people of all ages, including her mother’s friends, and her friendships are very diverse in terms of age and nationality, which is very typical of a New Yorker. In 2018, she and Molly Young co-authored a book of visual text puzzles, D C-T!, published by Penguin Press.
