Hi!
I'm Nin, and for the past 25 years, I've been crafting illustrations. Art has been my lifelong companion, as I've been writing and drawing for as long as I can remember. Still very young I found in art -in making and appreciating it- a way to find myself in the world to deal with adversity and prejudice.
“How to welcome beings who have just arrived in this world? and
how to produce a world more apt to receive them?”
these two issues guide much of my production.
I believe that besides listening and learning with Kids, books, art and creativity have many clues to help us to guide us closer to the essence of these inquires. :)

And that's it!
In general, I prefer using a limited color palette, with coffee playing a significant role in my work.
My creative process is deeply rooted in listening, as I strive to understand the unique requirements of each project in terms of atmosphere, color, composition, technique, and finish.
I am captivated by images and their intrinsic narratives. I particularly enjoy projects that allow me to transition between traditional and digital techniques. I relish opportunities where I can get my hands dirty with paint, spending more time with watercolor on paper than on screen. Nevertheless, I believe I've found an intriguing dynamic with these diverse mediums, where each can contribute and enhance every scene, every book.

Thank you for joining me on this little journey through my small universe.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Warm regards,
Nin.
