CURIOSITY DIDN'T KILL THE CAT, boredom did.
I’m Elena, an illustrator, graphic designer and a hobbyist writer living in Spain.
I’ve always loved drawing and creating my own characters, but I started my journey somewhere else. I studied English Linguistics and Literature at the University of Alicante and I became an English teacher who used art and design in my classes. However, the urge to become an illustrator and designer was unbearable, and I wanted to follow my dreams. I took part in a Master's in Graphic Design and Illustration in Coco School Alicante and I’ve worked as a designer since then.
We (my characters and I) unite images and words to tell fantastic stories through illustration. I use both traditional and digital painting techniques to achieve different styles depending on what I want to convey with my stories.
My illustration style is a mix of Japanese animation and modern European comic. I like to go from semirealism to very cartoonish designs, depending on the message I want to transmit with my concepts. I mainly focus on watercolor and ink on watercolor paper, but I also work with alcohol markers, digital art (Photoshop, Clip Studio and Procreate) and vector art (Illustrator).
I'm also a graphic designer! I strive to fuse visual identity, illustration and merchandise design to create the universe of a brand. I believe every single detail we add to our brands has an influence on what we are.
