Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist, illustrator and graphic designer based in Barcelona, Spain, with extensive work in children’s books and educational art projects.
My practice blends illustration, design and art therapy, and I collaborate with studios, NGOs, and independent clients across Spain and Europe. I run art therapy workshops using visual arts, drama theatre and music for children and teens, and I lead freelance illustration projects and creative workshops for schools and cultural centers.
My work is deeply rooted in storytelling, color, and the power of art to healing and inspire.
