Artist Statement
Daniela Marx is a designer and professor at Loyola University New Orleans. Her current series of typographic messages of mindfulness is inspired by her yoga practice. Finding alignment with the approach of mixing philosophy, meditation and exercise, she has developed a parallel visual practice that allows her to mix typography, experimental forms and color in the creation of a visual mantra. Creating these daily mini-messages engages her skills as a graphic designer, but also challenges her to more fully investigate and remember the meaning behind the words. Out of a desire to connect with others and in a spirit of kindness and togetherness, she has shared these visual mantras via instagram and facebook since the start of the pandemic.
