A finales del año pasado, realice un par de dobles páginas para el número de febrero de la revista Clubhouse Junior. Las páginas que me tocó ilustrar contaban lo que sucedía en la celebración de San Valentín en una residencia de ancianos, donde los residentes jugaban y realizaban distintas actividades con sus nietos, que venían de visita. Me decidí a aceptar el encargo porque, en cierta medida, lo sentí como un pequeño homenaje a la difícil situación que se ha vivido en las residencias de ancianos en España durante la pandemia.
At the end of last year, I did a couple of double pages for the February issue of Clubhouse Junior magazine. The spreads that I had to illustrate told what happened in the celebration of Valentine’s Day in a nursing home, where the elderly played and carried out different activities with their grandchildren, who came to visit. I decided to accept the commission because, to a certain extent, I felt it as a small tribute to the difficult situation that has been experienced in nursing homes in Spain during the pandemic.
I’m a freelance illustrator, graduated in Fine Arts and based in Madrid. As a children illustrator, I’ve worked on several books with various publishers and agencies in Europe and USA. I also work for the animation industry as character designer, background artist and color and texture artist, for feature films and pre-school TV series, like the winning-award “Puffin Rock” (Cartoon Saloon/ Dog Ears/ Penguin books) and the popular Spanish cartoon “Pocoyo” (Zinkia Entertainment).
