I am an artist and designer based in Nevada, working in mixed media and illustration to build worlds that reflect my identity and background. My work combines low-fi, psychedelic visuals and bold colors to create a sense of confusion, nostalgia, and uneasiness. Influenced by surrealism and cosmic horror, I explore reincarnation, memory, and the idea of past selves.What if I’d made different choices? What if I wasn’t human? These questions shape my work, using a red haired girl as an alter ego to examine the tension between fear and curiosity. My results are unsettling, dreamlike pieces that blur reality.

Aimee Coello uses mixed media and illustration techniques to create surreal worlds. Her art
combines psychedelic and other analog imagery with bold, dreamlike colors to evoke nostalgia,
confusion, and dread. Coello takes inspiration from surrealism and cosmic horror. She created
an alter ego character to re-imagine the choices Coello makes in everyday life. Coello's
questions become gateways to alternate realities where her identities and memories blur and
break the boundaries of human form. Her alter ego acts as a guide to help explore the tension
between fear and awe of the unknown.
