Hi, I’m Mery -a Swiss-born adventurer who swapped snowy slopes for sandy shores at the age of six. After moving to Florianopolis, Brazil, I traded skis for surfboards and discovered my lifelong love for all things board-related: skate, surf, bodyboard- you name it. Growing up with endless beach days, salty air, and the rhythm of the ocean, I developed a deep passion for the outdoor (or should I say ocean)life. Now based in Punta del Este, Uruguay-my home country- I’m a Chinese Medicine Practitioner by day and a illustrator by heart. When I’m not helping others find balance, you´ll find me capturing the surf vibe that inspires me daily or soaking up the beach lifestyle that keeps my creativity flowing. Life’s better with a board under your feet and the ocean in your soul! My illustration style is a vibrant celebration of surf culture and ocean life, blending minimalism with a bold, retro-inspired aesthetic. Each piece captures the essence of the beach lifestyle through clean lines, earthy tones, and pops of color that evoke the warmth of sunlit shores. I focus on the fluidity of movement and the connection between people and their boards, creating compositions that feel both nostalgic and modern. With a playful yet refined approach, my work reflects the laid-back energy of the surf scene while celebrating the beauty of simplicity and the endless inspiration of the sea.
