The college years marked a transformative chapter in her artistic journey. Struggling with societal pressures and beauty standards in the acting world, Itaihosara navigated profound depression. Photography emerged as her lifeline, evolving from a therapeutic hobby into a profound means of self-expression.
Itaihosara's photographic work serves as a canvas for the externalization of fears and insecurities. Each self-portrait becomes a character in the fantastical stories of her imagination, aiding her in confronting emotions and unveiling diverse perspectives in her ongoing journey of self-exploration.
With limited resources, Itaihosara harnesses the creative power of Photoshop to refine her photographic creations. This intricate process involves blending different images, infusing magic into scenes, and inventing elements that enhance the conceptual depth and storytelling of her work.
Recognition followed in 2021, with her art earning an honorable mention at the Fine Art Photography Awards and securing first place in the "Capture Your World" contest. Exhibiting with the GBA Digital Art Gallery in Bucaramanga, Colombia, further solidified her position in the artistic landscape.
In 2023, Itaihosara expanded her artistic influence by serving as a cultural ambassador, representing her country in Dubai at the "Art Connects Woman" event in March. Here, she participated in a collective exhibition alongside over 100 women from different parts of the world, successfully selling her art and adding another milestone to her artistic journey.
Beyond her photographic endeavors, Itaihosara is a bilingual artist with skills spanning vocal technique, contemporary dance, ballet, mask work, as well as proficiency in photography and editing. Her commitment to art as a medium of expression is evident in various projects and publications, including the play "Jardin de Flores" and the magazine "Papel Escena."
