Amelia Quintana: The Digital Art Curator Who Colorizes the World by Using Her Feet 🌍🎨

"I didn't choose the art life, the art life chose me. And then I drug it across 37 countries, 12 time zones, and one bad decision in Marrakesh." ✨

Let me back it up a second. Imagine me, at 22 years old, a freshly minted art school graduate with a diploma in one hand and a crippling student loan in the other, working as a "gallery assistant" (a fancy name for a coffee bitch) in a pretentious SoHo art collective whose pay would barely cover a NYC subway swipe, and the vibes in that space were so toxic that they probably would have made a cactus wilt. 🌵💔

But, here's the twist. I stole my freedom! No, not really (FBI pls don't knock), I simply quit that job that drained my soul, sold my entire wardrobe (RIP vintage Levi's), and bought a one-way ticket to Bali with only a backpack and a dream. Cue dramatic music. 🎻

Five years later, after hustling, crashing in some questionable hostels, trading digital art commissions for literal coconuts (ttyl), and now I am that girl, the girl who curates immersive NFT exhibitions inside lofts in Lisbon, the girl who is flown to Tokyo to judge "the future of pixelated rebellion," and somehow has a Wikipedia that barely touches on the chaos of how I got here. 🏆🔥

My secret? I treat my life like a canvas. Messy. Unpredictable. Brilliantly imperfect. Every whack collab, every "sorry, we are looking for someone more established," every heart break in a new city—now that all a part of the texture. And texture sells. 💅

Right now, I am obsessed with taking the raw and unfiltered travel adventure and throwing it into the reality of the digital art revolution.Think: AR murals in the alleyways of Bogotá, AI generated dreamscapes inspired by Mongolian nomads, and perhaps a scandalous DM or two from a crypto bro who does not understand my "artistic vision." 😏

So, welcome to my unhinged adventure—where career hustle faceplants into wanderlust, and every "oops" is just a plot twist. Let's do this! We're just getting started. 🚀
