Illustrator based in Madrid, Spain.
I studied Graphic Design: Illustration at Arte Diez Art School, Madrid (2016-2018) and I’m currently working in all kind of projects.
Between one job and the other, I also organize workshops and other activities for children.
My work features childhood, intimacy, emotions and nature.
