About Me

Hi!. My name is Xiana and I'm an illustrator from Vigo, a cute little city in the Spanish far northwest. I have a degree in Biology and after years of classifying butterflies, collecting sea urchins, and hunting microbes, I decided to study Fine Arts . So, after graduating in Fine Arts with Honours I completed a Master's in Design and Illustration.
So far, I've worked mostly on children's books and magazines, but I'm always open to new fresh ideas and nice projects. I love Illustrating stories for kids but also being on the other side: I love reading children's books and imagining how the creative process was. I work from my lovely and cozy studio located in sunny Valencia (Spain) where I develop my work using digital media.
