About me

I am a queer illustrator from Barcelona, Spain, and go by the pronouns they/she.

What I love most about my work is recounting stories through symbolism and composition. My art draws inspiration from nature’s vibrant colors and shapes, as well as a variety of mythologies and folklore.

Some of the clients I have had the pleasure to work with include: Penguin Random House, Chronos and Principia Magazine.

Fun facts: Before fully committing to illustration, I started a career in science journalism. Most of my work has been published by La Vanguardia, one of Spain’s most relevant daily newspapers.

Writing is still one of my passions, but nowadays I mostly opt for fiction —currently working on a novel and several short stories—, as well as for other forms of storytelling, like game mastering.
