An afro-Dominican muralist, illustrator, and visual storyteller creating joyful, imaginative experiences through art.
Known for playful compositions and surreal floral landscapes, Talisa’s work explores optimism, identity, and transformation. Her vibrant visuals are designed to spark curiosity, soften public spaces, and invite moments of delight into everyday life. Whether painted on city walls or translated into illustrated objects, her work encourages viewers to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with joy.
Talisa works across large-scale murals, illustrated campaigns, creative partnerships, and painted objects, bringing a distinct point of view to every project. Her process is rooted in collaboration and community, often shaped by the stories, environments, and people connected to the space.
At the heart of Almonte Studio is creative freedom. A belief that art should feel expansive, accessible, and alive. Each piece is an invitation to imagine a brighter, more colorful world, and to see possibilities where you least expect it.
Ready to brighten your space or brand? Let’s turn your vision into a celebration in color.
Almonte Studio is the bold, color-drenched world of Talisa Almonte.
