About

I’m María, a self-taught artist from the Basque Country currently based in Galicia.

My work is inspired by the beech forests where I grew up, the grey Cantabrian Sea, and the foggy memories of childhood. Religious insights and a catholic education also play an important role, alongside influences from folklore and paganism. 

Studying Philosophy shaped my artistic perspective and conceptual approach, exploring existential themes, such as hope, belief, inner shelter, and the relationship between nature and spirit.

I create silent stories about creatures and landscapes from other worlds, who come to be companions along the way. This interconnected universe allows me to elevate personal experiences into a realm of myths and tales, blending dreams, memories and grief into the collective imagery.

While watercolor has become my primary medium, expanding my artistic skills and exploring different techniques is one of the main impulses that drives my creative journey. Some years ago, I started adding three dimensions to my illustrations, creating dioramas, articulated paper figures, dolls and peep shows, a path I plan to continue exploring.
