Bio

I studied Fine Arts and during those years I discovered that art, written in capital letters, was not what I was looking for and when I finished my studies I focused my career on graphic and web design.

I lived for a few years in Jordan, where I worked as a designer with some of the main European cultural centers. These centers gave me a lot of freedom, and in the publications we were producing I began to include, almost without realizing it, more and more of my own illustration. This made me start having fun and getting more excited about my work and discovering that what I really liked, more than designing, was drawing, something I hadn’t done for years.

I can say that in illustration I have found the balance between art and design.

About my work

My work is figurative and narrative, human nature and the use of characters are my favorite resources to tell stories. I also like to approach the person as an individual, which is leading me to develop my facet as a portrait artist.

Working with a figurative and narrative style makes my illustrations work well not only in picture books, but also in advertising, covers, posters, magazines and is that convey an idea or communicate a message.

I use digital techniques with which I sometimes try to recreate other more plastic, such as pencil and watercolor.

I have illustrated for El País, Instituto Cervantes, Goethe Institut, AECID, Revista Líbero, Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer and Amnesty International, among others.
