I am a multidisciplinary illustrator and visual artist based in Madrid, Spain. I work across traditional and digital media, creating narrative imagery for books, education projects, and multimedia collaborations. I love collaborating with educators and cultural initiatives, blending craft and storytelling to spark imagination. In my practice I combine painting, sculpture, and illustration with a hands-on approach to learning, evident in cyanotype workshops and freelance commissions. I'm passionate about accessible art, mentorship, and bringing creative ideas to life through thoughtful design and playful visuals.
