Digital artist Guillermo Flores Pacheco is "very proud" to be the first Mexican artist to design a Adobe Photoshop splash screen

"It's like a dream come true!" declares Mexican artist Guillermo Flores Pacheco when I ask how it felt to be the first artist from his country to be asked to design a Photoshop splash screen.

"Adobe invited artists from all over the world and I am the only Mexican, which makes me feel very proud for this great achievement. I would like to share my story with hundreds of Latin creatives in the world. I think that many young people could be inspired and continue dreaming," says Guillermo. "I remembered the first time I walked into the computer room at university and saw a Photoshop splash screen for the first time and thought ‘Wow imagine one day making an artwork and appearing there’ and now it’s happening!"
