I’m a full time artist and mother of two young daughters, living and working by the English seaside. I was born in London and studied the history of art in Edinburgh before moving to Brighton where I can now be found every day in my tiny garden studio making art for greetings cards, textiles, stationery, newspapers and magazines. I find my inspiration in flea markets and art galleries, vintage fashion and interiors magazines, and of course in nature. All my work is drawn by hand, printed or painted, and I thrive on creative collaboration with my clients to develop the perfect artwork for their products.

I was born in Igualada on February 16, 1980, my mother is Catalan and my father is Greek. I am a graduate in Translation and Interpretation, but I have passed the drawing career. In fact, I do not remember any books from the school without drawings around.

Currently, I am an English teacher at the Joan Ramis i Ramon Institute in Maó and I would like more time to learn new techniques.

I mainly use pencils and watercolors. I usually inspire everyday things and try to give them a fun tone.

Barcelona, 1968. Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts, University of Barcelona, specializing in Painting. He lives and works in Ciutadella de Menorca, where he is currently in his studio. He regularly collaborates with Iñaki Sampedro, Art & Bags by hand painting unique and exclusive leather bags. Exhibits frequently in France.

His work is inspired by nature, landscape and human geographies and for this reason travel is also a constant source of inspiration. To teach us his inner world he uses both painting, drawing, engraving and illustration. The subject of his pictorial work is usually canvas, but also on paper. He usually uses mixed teniques: acrylic, oil, collage, Indian ink, watercolor, etc.

I have the opportunity to draw pictures for Pou Nou, although my work has nothing to do with it. I work on sailing and windsurfing at Fornells, I think that's why many of my drawings are related to the sea.

I try to inspire myself with the things I see during my trips, later giving them a more Minorcan touch.

I studied biology in Barcelona, but I've always liked to draw and I do it for pleasure whenever I can.

I went to Tarragona in 1971. At age 29 I will live in Barcelona and I combine studies of the plastic arts and painting cycle at the Massana school with an interior painter's job. Since then I've done murals, furniture and paintings for decorators and individuals in Barcelona, Menorca and Mallorca.
I have a small workshop to make small format collages, are works of sarcastic character and have a subtle social criticism, worked with images preferably vintage and religious that have been exhibited and can be found in the modernist museum Can Prunera de Sóller and the foundation cultural Coll Bardolet.
I do workshops for schools through the program Viu la Cultura (Ministry, Culture, Participation and Sports).

My painting is restless and experimental we can extract the pigment of the plants, plants and minerals and make a mural with the resulting color, make a collage, or a crunch with eggshell, whenever I can work with pigments in powder because I ' He likes the smoothness of his chromatic range, improvisation and the surprise of the results. I really enjoy them when they ask me to have furniture and walls covered with gold and silver, since it is a very careful and accurate work, a challenge!

I was born in Ciutadella (Menorca) on January 25, 1998. I first studied plastic arts at the Escola d'Art de Menorca and then entered the world of illustration studying in Tarragona a Higher Degree in this discipline.
Subsequently, I was in Madrid taking a course in abstract art and creativity.

I had my first exhibition, Ambrosia, in March 2019 in Mahon and, since then, I have been able to exhibit in Madrid and Barcelona, ??among other cities. I was also able to participate in the 6th Vesprades d'Art de Mercadal 2019 and the Balconades d'Art jove d'Alaior 2021. In the summer of 2018 I won the 1st.

Currently, I continue to train artistically in different disciplines, and I am involved in different projects.

"... free drawing: At school, the teacher announced it when there was no definite task to do, or did not want to saturate our brains with dictations, essays or sums, free drawing, it was what I liked most about school and So I decided to devote my life to this concept: permanent free drawing.

And so I went through the Elissava and Eina schools, in which I graduated in art. Then began the painting exhibitions and what is known as a profession. For the last 20 years I have carried my work in a lot of galleries throughout Catalonia, Spain, France, Switzerland, etc. I have also exhibited in the United States and Argentina. My painting is figurative and leans towards the landscape genre, but I do everything. You can see a sample in the Sala Parés in Barcelona and in the Ansorena gallery in Madrid, mainly. The collaboration with Pou Nou is born from the desire to deepen the enlightenment, sharing with the public a more playful, informal and searching side of my work. "

Born in Barcelona. My painting is immersed in Mediterranean culture with its legacy of images both in terms of myths and archetypes as the landscapes of the land surrounding the sea or are surrounded by the sea. In addition to my paintings regularly I works in other media such as textiles or design which adapts images for that support.
