Every line I draw is a doorway — a quiet moment where imagination and emotion meet. Through my work, I aim to help children find light in transition, peace in remembrance, and joy in rediscovery. I draw to tell stories, to give them soul and movement, to dress them in light and texture. More than a decade ago, I embarked on this path of lines and colors, exploring both traditional and digital art. Since 2016, I have immersed myself in children’s illustration, where every stroke is a doorway to imagination and a building block for the young minds that behold it. I am passionate about the poetic and the symbolic images that whisper more than they show, that stir emotions and leave an echo. My illustrations seek to be both refuge and adventure, fleeting moments captured on paper that invite dreams to take flight. ​ I have brought books to life, including the Animales con Suerte series (Lola, Jack, and Pico), among other published works. I have also collaborated with Javier Bajer, Ilender Corp, Roullette Studios, and many more each project different, yet always met with the same commitment: to create unique and memorable images. I'm an illustrator who observes, listens, and builds alongside a team. Meticulous with detail, yet free in exploration. Organized, yet always ready to venture down new paths. I believe illustration is a bridge between worlds, a breath of magic that transforms ideas into living images. Because a book is more than just a collection of pages it's a universe waiting to be created and discovered. And I want to keep drawing the doors that lead to it.
