Botanica | Autumn Collection 2019

When the body feels like it's getting sick, the first thing that comes to my mind is tea. In Mexico, before even going to the doctor, we first try to fix everything with plants. There are many ways to use them, but tea is the most common: Stomach ache? Chamomile tea. Cough? Bougainvillea tea. Insomnia? Linden tea. Are you in need of a love spell? Toloache tea! (a dangerous one though).

And where do we buy these magical herbs? In the 'tienda botánica', which translates as 'plant store'. These shops are truly magical for the eyes and senses, you can find dried flowers, incense, medicinal herbs, candles, amulets, the list is endless.

Botanica is a word that reminds me of home, but since I live in London the meaning in my mind has slightly changed to a place where plants are taken care of, it makes me think in a botanical garden or nursery.

For my autumn collection I wanted to use this word as inspiration. Mixing the idea of magical spells and bringing the healing power of flowers into our lives.

Bloom | Spring Collection 2019

I love fireworks, I always have. They are loud, colorful and usually happen on days of celebration. And there is nothing that I celebrate more than Spring in London, when everything comes back to life and flowers just sprout everywhere.

For this season I wanted to paint that feeling, something that made me smile for no reason apart from the joy of seeing the colors and the movement. I always translate any theme into a floral celebration anyway, so it just felt right.

I painted a collection of big floral explosions and chose the perfect name for it: 'Bloom'.

Wildlife Collection of original watercolour paintings by Ingrid Sanchez | Winter Collection 2018.

Wildlife | Winter Collection 2018

When I think about meeting with friends, my mind goes to the forest. This is because my closest tribe enjoy nature as much as I do, and we usually meet for a walk in the forest before sitting down in a coffee shop or restaurant.

I love our walks during winter when there is a dramatic change of the landscape. I find fascinating the shapes of the branches and the movement of the fallen leaves. They remind me of all the flowers that I gather during the year and dry at home.


This collection was inspired by those shapes. In each painting I used a specific flower or branch, I let them speak to me and translated those whispers into colors and movement. I called this collection 'Wildlife'.

Bouquet original watercolor paintings by artist Ingrid-Sanchez AKA CreativeIngrid. Summer Collection, London 2018.

Bouquet | Summer Collection 2018

I obviously love flowers and constantly use them as source of inspiration to create colourful palettes and brush strokes with a floral feel. But I noticed that I rarely paint bouquets and I wondered how a loose and abstract interpretation would look.

With this idea in mind I started the 'Bouquet' collection and eight paintings were born. No jars contain these flowers and I portrayed them from all different angles. The result is a group of watercolours filled with movement and colour that contain all the vibrancy of a warm summer.

Awake, collection of botanical abstract paintings by CreativeIngrid | Ingrid Sanchez. Spring Collection 2018.

Awake | Spring Collection 2018

I am from a country that don't know about seasons, or at least not in the way we do in England. The first time I experienced winter in my life was the first time I travelled to London, I was 24 years old. I swore I will never live in a country as cold as this one and 13 years later here I am.

Now I love change, I love to experience the warm from Summer, the colors of Autumn and the long winters under blankets and tea, lots of tea. But there is nothing that bring as much happiness like Spring. Everything comes back to life, everything flourish, and we feel happy and alive. The 'Awake' collection takes its name from this amazing explosion of happiness when we are ready to experience the blooms of the new season.

Underwater collection of watercolour paintings inspired by the sea. CreativeIngrid | IngridSanchez, London 2017.

Underwater | Winter Collection 2017 | Ingrid Sanchez

There was a time when I felt deeply lost. I knew I wanted to live a life of creation but I didn't know how. This is how the wanderlust spirit was born in me and I left home to travel around my country, I was 18 years old.

My feet took me to the sea, always to the sea. Eventually I arrived at a small island in the south of Mexico where I stayed for a long time to explore the reefs and corals, but also where I made a living with my paintings for the very first time.

Eighteen years later and life took me back to this small island, though this time it was a long holiday in the company of my husband. I immediately reconnected with the blues of the sea and the warm salty water; old friends were waiting for me and the colorful delicate corals were brighter than ever.

I came back to London to paint the sea the way I felt it. The 'Underwater' collection was born from this extraordinary experience of feeling the blues of an endless ocean through all of my senses.

Chelsea flower collection of paintings by artist Ingrid Sanchez, AKA CreativeIngrid. London, Spring 2017.

Chelsea | Spring Collection 2017 | Ingrid Sanchez

Every year since 1912 London celebrates the famous Chelsea Flower Show. Apart of the official events organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, shops and buildings dress their facades under waves of flowers. It is a truly magical event.

On May 2017, I was invited to take over the Lululemon's shop window located in Chelsea, a beautiful neighbourhood based in South West London. As a result I ended with eight large floral paintings and the 'Chelsea Collection' was born.

Bold collection of watercolours by artist Ingrid Sanchez, AKA CreativeIngrid. London, Summer 2017.

Bold | Summer Collection 2017 | Ingrid Sanchez

BOLD: fearless before danger : intrepid; showing or requiring a fearless daring spirit; impudent, presumptuous.

When I meet someone for the first time, the question of what I do for a living occasionally pops up. Usually saying “I am an artist” is not enough because a lot of people consider painting to be more of a hobby than a real job. When I go on to explain that “I paint flowers” I completely lose them. Why would anyone paint flowers? And what kind of flowers do I paint?

After one of these conversations where people seems to give up trying to understand I thought that women, artists and flowers have a lot in common; we are constantly misunderstood. And with these thoughts I decided to paint a new collection of flowers, but bigger and more colourful than ever. Flowers are delicate but strong, they are there to be loved and help us talk to others through them. I wanted a collection where nature and flowers shouted from their silence and I could not think of a better name for it than “Bold”.
