Professional middle-grade book illustrator. Hi! My name is Lucia and I am an artist from Málaga, Spain. I feel inspired by nature, the ocean, fantasy, and mythology. I create colorful, gentle digital art with expressive and whimsical characters, influenced by the movies and TV series of my childhood. I mainly work with Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. My most important work includes “Pedri y la leyenda de las botas de oro” (2025), published by Plataforma Editorial, and the covers for the middle-grade mystery series “Periopistas” (2023–2024), written by Laura Tárraga. Also I’ve been working regularly with Edicions del Sud since 2018, including their upcoming title “L’eriçó més valent del món” (2026). I studied Fine Arts in Málaga and later specialized in illustration and 2D animation at Animum 3D School. Since graduating in 2018, I’ve collaborated with publishing companies and created artwork for animated short films. So I already have experience working with clients, deadlines, and professional workflows.
