I am Nekane and I am a visual artist. The main part of my artwork involves handcrafting with paper, which is for me the essence of my art, just as paint is for a painter. For the last two years I have been keeping my waste paper from my work, because one day I realised that I was wasting so much and decided to do something with these leftovers.

In this way, Marcela Luna was born. This new brand makes the perfect harmony with the creative art that I sell under the name Neka. I would like to improve my designs and make Marcela Luna bigger because I feel it is something that I need to do and that makes my art and me complete.
