Everything began with characters and ideas… and became stories.

I’m an illustrator and storyteller from Barcelona.

Over the years, I’ve been creating worlds full of life, humor, tenderness, and imagination, blending fiction and nonfiction. My practice has evolved from personal exploration to collaborating with my sisters under the colorcema brand and working as a freelance illustrator under my own name. 

Alongside personal book projects, I work with public institutions, museums, publishers, and brands, with research and fieldwork as part of my process. 

Endlessly curious, I’m fascinated by art and nature — especially birds — and by stories and beauty I discover in everyday life.
