Valeria Montero — known as Vale — is a Mexican digital illustrator and muralist whose vibrant, color-saturated worlds blur the line between imagination and reality, inviting viewers into a universe where anything is possible.

Working across digital illustration, large-scale murals, artistic interventions, and custom commissions, Montero's process is rooted in emotional storytelling and optimism. Her work is guided by a desire to imagine alternate worlds "full of color and life in pursuit of a more optimistic world." For custom pieces, she collaborates closely with clients, drawing from personal photos, memories, and ideas to create portraits that feel both intimate and expansive.

Montero's client roster speaks to her broad appeal and professional reach. She has collaborated with YouTube, Vogue and L'Atelier des Fleurs, and Adidas Originals, and has created murals for Falling Piano and Clever Company. Her artistic interventions extend to partnerships with Game Planet and Glassi, and her 2022 agenda was sold in Gandhi bookstores across Mexico. A 2021 collaboration with YouTube was minted as an NFT and gifted to creators as a year-end prize.
