Julieta
Arroquy was born in Bahía Blanca in 1974 and lives in
Buenos Aires. She studied media studies, then worked
as a journalist for different radio stations and agencies. By an “accident of
fate” she became a cartoonist for the journal Ohlalá.
She also created her own collection of painted bags and slippers. In 2011, she
invented “Ofelia” and started to publish her cartoons in different
international journals. Ofelia got more than 100,000 likes
on facebook.
Postcards
from the feminine universe, chronicles of indifference in love and other worlds ...
With
her refreshing comments on younger women’s conflicts in the era of e-mails,
text messages and Facebook, Ofelia is the new heroine of the comic
strip. In nine small images per page she tells us a whole story: Be it
lovesickness, self-esteem or the imponderable ways of life, Ofelia will
surprise us and make us laugh with her very real existential dilemmas and her
audacious vision of herself and the world around her.
Humour with a
female flavour and universal wit.
