Maryell Finisterre Diaz Muñoz is a multidisciplinary visual artist and creative director working across film, photography, music, and digital visual production.
She comes from a family of artists working across theatre, music, literature, and film, and began her own path in the arts at an early age. She performed on stage from the age of four and appeared on television at eight, going on to work internationally by her teens. At seventeen, her poetry was published by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and her work later appeared across Mexico, the United States, and Canada. At twenty-two, she received a Merit Award from the International Society of Poets.
Alongside her artistic work, she wrote for magazines and worked for six years as a speechwriter for the CEOs of two major insurance companies in Mexico, developing a strong sense of structure, tone, and communication.
She trained in music at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico and continued her studies privately in Mexico and the United Kingdom. As a vocalist and composer, she has released several albums and contributed to film soundtracks for productions distributed on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
Her visual career began in photojournalism, producing thousands of published images in Mexico, including work for El Universal and Reforma. Her photography also contributed to promotional work for Spain through features published in Reforma.
She later moved into film and digital production and is Co-founder and Art Director of Dream Alliance Productions. Her work focuses on CGI, 3D environments, set dressing, compositing, retouching, colour grading, and video editing. She has also contributed to music video production in roles including filming, colour work, and production support.
Through Dream Alliance, she has developed digital projects combining music, 3D, and visual storytelling, reaching global audiences with millions of views across platforms.
Her work has contributed to productions distributed on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and includes the short film Mischief and Mayhem, created for exhibition at the Old Royal Naval College. She also worked in CGI and visual effects on the documentary Green Superheroes 2030, which has received multiple international awards.
She continues to incorporate new technologies, including AI-assisted workflows, as part of her creative process.
Her photographic work, created under the name Free Oxygen, has been exhibited internationally, and her visuals have been used for album artwork in the UK.
Maryell is bilingual in English and Spanish and is based in York, working with clients across the UK and internationally.
