Ana
A custom portrait illustration, a gift for her saint’s day
Ana. The beach, her beloved Medes Islands, her bike loaded with sunflowers and a gang of gulls and lovestruck little birds.
Very chic with her hat, sunglasses, white shirt, linen trousers, and that relaxed pose that had to stay, no matter what.
The seagull watches her closely, haughty and proud of her medallion
se trata de esos pequeños detalles que hacen que la ilustración sea inconfundiblemente suya
los detalles
Her husband sent me photographs, memories, small facts about her life. I put the puzzle together, the pines by the sea, the vegetation of the Costa Brava, the birds, the plants that surround her.
I love turning loose images into someone’s storytelling, with humour, character and plenty of detail.
the star of the show
Cada ilustración es única y está hecha a mano, a partir de conversaciones, fotografías, detalles personales… y alguna pequeña investigación por mi cuenta.
“The best gift: thoughtful, made with care, original, moving, and beautiful too. I loved it.”
