"To me, illustrating means reinterpreting reality, reshaping it, and coloring it with everything that inspires and fascinates me"
Barcelona, 1998.
I hold a degree in Illustration from Escola Joso and later expanded my creative path by studying Graphic Design. Today, I’m fortunate to blend both disciplines in my daily work. In the mornings, I work as an editorial layout designer, and in my spare time, I dive into the world of children’s and young adult book illustration.
Despite my relatively short journey in the field, I’ve illustrated over a dozen books for renowned publishers such as Penguin Random House, Grupo SM, Algar and Edelvives. I was honored to receive the VII Enric Solbes Illustrated Album Award, and one of the highlights of my career has been illustrating a book by Laura Gallego, my favorite author since my teenage years.
My illustration style combines a naïve spirit with a magical touch. I love experimenting with textures, using bold and contrasting colors, and playing with light to create immersive and emotional scenes.
And yes — I’m a huge cat lover. If you look closely, you’ll find a little feline friend hidden somewhere in almost every book I illustrate.
