It’s lovely to meet you - I’m Núria!
I am a children’s book author and illustrator based in a little village near Barcelona. When I was a child, my dad used to hide small pieces of paper
full of drawings inside my text books, and for a long time I believed they
had appeared there by magic.
My work is inspired by the things I love most: the beauty of nature,
the simple moments of everyday life, expressive characters and captivating stories. And marvelous books written by great writers such as Hans
Cristian Andersen, Roald Dahl, Astrid Lindgren, Sempé, Gianni Rodari
and so many others.
During the last few years I have been working on several picture books,
most of them starred by animals. I make digital art and traditional painting
as well. Jeff and Pip’s series, the project I have been working on recently,
is all done with acrylic gouache and colored pencils.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me reading a book with a cup of coffee, taking care of my house plants and collecting memories with my biggest treasures: my husband, our little daughter and our furry shadow, Neula.
