Patricia Velásquez

The creative process extends beyond the photographic, canvas as well as film and other media. It also catalyzes charity, philanthropy, and activism. Award-winning actress, a history-making supermodel and philanthropist who is a staunch supporter, conscientious activist as well as a writer and loving mom Patricia Velasquez applies an eternal imaginative spirit to everything she does-whether it be starring in blockbusters like The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayuu Taya Foundation and participating on the UNESCO Board. She draws inspiration from her own instincts and creates her own path and is making huge strides. "I see my work as a huge staircase," she says. "I made every step. It was amazing to accomplish this, as there was perseverance. I wasn't able to stop moving. simply sat down. The analogy closely resembles a formative moment. After a short time she relocated to Venezuela. She was born in Venezuela and grew up in France and Mexico. In South America, her parents were employed in the field of education. They then moved the family into an crowded apartment building with no plumbing and no elevators. Patricia often carried heavy buckets of water for 15 flights of stairs in order to get water. Between studying engineering and a rigorous dance program she tried to assist the family in any way that was possible. Being scouted for modeling in Milan, the multi talented artist's ascent to the top of fashion rested on a promise made to the people she loved. She remembers, "When they asked me to go to Italy I responded, 'If can send thirty dollars per month back to Venezuela, it's worth it in the sense that it would provide the entire building's water'." Patricia's achievement was a major change in fashion in that she gained attention for South America for first time. Following her becoming "the first Karl Lagerfeld model ever photographed", she went on to feature in editorial spreads as well as front ads for Chanel as well as Dolce & Gabbana. She was also featured in Oprah's "Supermodel of the World Contest" by Ford Models. Also, she graced the covers of Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire as well as many other magazines.
