PECORA NERA (BLACK SHEEP)

Natalia Perez Linde PhD Eng

artist statement -
Officially Selected at London Fashion Film Festival

"Roots must rise and fly” - based on the aphorism by Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez, a poetic & paradoxical phrase that evokes the idea of balance between freedom and belonging.

The black sheep defies conformity, seeking new horizons while staying connected to its roots. The black sheep is not lost—it’s simply on a path that few dare to follow.

Roots must fly so as to not get trapped in the earth, and wings must take roots so as not to get lost in the air.

Only by uniting the yearning to rise with being grounded, we can live fully 🖤🖤🖤

artist bio -
Creative Producer & Art Director working across fashion, styling and visual storytelling — moving fluidly between concept, art direction, cinematography and the full production process.

Born in Andalusia (Spain), my path has unfolded across the UK, Scotland, Shanghai, the Czech Republic, Italy and New York, shaping an international and intuitive way of creating. With a background in Engineering and a PhD, I approach creativity through both structure and instinct: I define the concept and visual language, and also build what brings it to life — leading teams, coordinating logistics and holding every moving part together on set.

My work lives at the intersection of aesthetics and production. As an art director I shape atmosphere, identity and narrative; as a producer I turn ideas into reality — managing timelines, locations, crews and budgets; and through cinematography I bring concept and emotion together in framing, light and rhythm.

Across editorial, fashion and brand projects, my fashion films Dietro ai Lupi | Women Behind the Artist and Pecora Nera | Black Sheep were officially selected at the London Fashion Film Festival.

Currently Head of Lifestyle and Experience Curator for the Jessica Bataille group in Spain, I see creation as a dialogue between roots and reinvention — where curiosity, sensitivity and adaptability guide the process.

Next fashion short film in progress — stay tuned.
