I was born in Avila with my twin sister Sae 24 years ago. After spending a few years in Edinburgh I came back to Spain to study illustration and attended one year of the illustration Academy in Florida. In 2006 I started illustrating as a pro working for magazines, books and advertising. For a while I taught a collage illustration workshop at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
I work in a variety of media exploring diferent styles, producing illustrations, animations and comics. The results have been selected in several juried competitions: Communication Arts, American illustration, Society of Illustrators 50, Illustration West 45, Injuve 2009, CineJoven 2006, Opel Corsa Animate 2006.

I like the ocean scene. It reminds me of Japanese, Chinese, oriental style painting. Actually both pieces have that feel. Amazing strokes and colors.

The zebra is great. Very creative. I have the ocean scene saved as my wallpaper at work. Despite the stormy waters I find it to be very peaceful.

I am wondering why there are swallows flying over the water. In America seagulls fly over the water, I live in NY where there is a lot of water, big water like the Great Lake Ontario, and I never have seen swallows in this manner. Very interesting to me though. Beautiful.

Love the work! She is a skilful craftsperson, has a lovely feel for line and composition and colour, has a great sense of humour and delight in whimsy without being ‘twee’.
I love her juxtapositioning of shapes, and her insight into women.
It’s light, but it’s delightful and makes me smile – calls to the child in me, no doubt.

I love the details in his simplistic imagery. They are playful in numerous ways.
