My illustrations explore imaginary spaces where we live, showing that they are more than walls and rooms — they are filled with meanings, memories, and emotions. These spaces become receptacles of nostalgia, joy, and even fear, capturing the intimate connection between people and their surroundings.

"Imaginary Scenes"

Series I

Discover original drawings and illustrations inspired by textiles, vintage, art and interior design. "Imaginary Scenes" showcases creative visual storytelling, intricate details, and original artwork for art enthusiasts and design lovers. Explore prints, illustrations and textile-inspired artworks that bring imagination to life.

Curiosity! where do ideas come from?

Series II

In my work, inanimate objects are more than just items — they carry meaning and a subtle spirit. Inspired by Japanese beliefs that even everyday objects possess a soul, my illustrations explore the importance of the objects around us, especially in today's fast-paced, throwaway culture.

Poetic Journey

Series III

Embroidered Illustrations

Handmade textile work

My embroidered illustrations are entirely handmade works, created through a slow and intentional artisanal process. Each image is conceived specifically for embroidery, designed from the outset to exist through thread, color, warp, and weft. Rather than translating pre-existing drawings, I develop original images that emerge directly from the logic and possibilities of textile techniques. Color is central to my practice. Through carefully constructed stitches and layered threads, I build images that explore rhythm, texture, and materiality, allowing illustration to take shape through embroidery and craftsmanship.

Multi-disciplinary artist & designer

I am a multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and illustrator passionate about creating beautiful, ethical, and sustainable products. I hold a degree in Fashion Design from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, complemented by advanced studies at NABA (Milan) and Central Saint Martins (London), where I honed both my design skills and craftsmanship expertise.

My international experience collaborating with renowned fashion brands has given me a deep understanding of the industry's creative and operational challenges. In recent years, I have focused on the social and environmental impacts of fashion, striving to promote responsible production and sustainable luxury.

This commitment led me to found Studio Artero in 2016, a luxury knitwear brand dedicated to ethical fashion, artisanal craftsmanship, and high-quality materials.

During the pandemic, I embraced a period of creative exploration, rediscovering my passion for illustration. My work emphasizes color, texture, and visual storytelling, reflecting my belief that we form emotional connections with everyday objects.
