About Me

Hello, I’m Vanessa

a creative soul fluent in multiple languages and many forms of expression. Whether I’m writing, drawing, painting, designing, or architecting, I approach it all with curiosity and passion.

Make It Untamed

While my roots are grounded in architecture, with a rich career, Untamed Vanessa is where my artistic spirit roams free beyond blueprints and structures. Here, I share my explorations in art, design, and the simple beauty I find in nature and travel.

Make It Bold

I’ve been honored to receive first-place awards in art and design competitions across the globe, but what truly inspires me is the light of a sunlit mountain, the rhythm of ocean waves, the delicate bloom of flowers, and the quiet presence of animals. These moments fuel my creativity and remind me why I create.

Make It Yours

We all need a space for the parts of us that don’t belong in LinkedIn bios or client decks. This is mine — the barefoot painter, the word lover, the adventurous traveler, the woman who is not interested in being palatable.

  • Untamed is a return — to instinct, to softness, to wildness without apology. It’s where I create without explaining. Where I paint without worrying if it “sells.” Where I let my thoughts wander like ocean waves and design things to express, not to impress.

    I chose Untamed because I don’t need to be chosen. I just need to be true.

  • I am a true Renaissance woman. I feel most alive when I’m creating something beautiful — whether it’s a building, a painting, or a life worth living.

    I collect flowers, passport stamps, and strange metaphors.

    If I weren’t me, I’d still want to meet me.

  • My work ranges from abstract paintings to thoughtful design pieces. I lean into feeling over form. I want you to feel something when you see it. Sometimes it’s joy. Sometimes it’s wonder. Sometimes it’s something harder to name.

  • Yes! New pieces will also be available soon. For now, you’re welcome to reach out if something speaks to you. I believe art finds the right home when it’s ready.

  • Occasionally — if the story behind it aligns with my heart. Feel free to ask, especially if it involves meaningful spaces, portraiture, or collaborative magic.

Art is the sunlight that colors my world.

Every journey is a canvas waiting to be painted.
