Raquel Villa (b.1994) is a Spanish visual artist and designer currently based in London.
Her research-driven personal practice investigates digitally simulated systems that speculate with strange physics.

With a background in architecture, she is interested in cultivating fantasy worlds by exploring parametric systems and natural laws. She focuses on the surreal aspect of her digital practice, in infusing magic realism into digital physical behaviours to speculate with them.

Over the past four years, she has been working as a senior designer at XK studio, using Houdini as her main software to conceptualise ideas to the digital medium with brands such as Google Deepmind, Apple, Nike, etc.
