The Graduate
Illustration for Issue Nº 14 of Principia Magazine for a text by Bernardo Herradón about the movie The Graduate.
This Issue is the second number of a wonderful compilation of articles and illustrations on the intersection of science and cinema, featuring all-time classics like The Graduate, Rainman, and Mary Poppins, but also series like Fringe or Outlander and animation masterpieces like Ponyo from the amazing Hayao Miyazaki.
This is the second Issue dedicated to Science and Diversity, but this time instead of being focused on specific people, if focuses on the technical advances that contribute to inclusion. I am illustrating an article about migraine by Patricia Rodríguez. Through her personal experience, she guides us through its incapacitating effect on the people that suffer it, and gives us a glimpse into the latest possibilities for its treatment.
This new issue features amazing stories of incredible people with disabilities and how they fought to be seen in a world that is usually not leaving much space for them. Helen Keller was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree and she became a prolific author, campaigning for women's suffrage, labor rights, and socialism. Her learning experience with her teacher and friend Anne Sullivan impacted the deaf community and she is remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities.
Other amazing illustrated stories about: Temple Grandin, Humphry Davy, Josh Nash, Hildegarda de Bingen, Stephen Hawking, John Dalton, Charles Léo Lesquereux, artist Yayoi Kusama o poet Jennifer Bartlett.

Christmas Tales
Cover for the Christmas Issue of the monthly magazine La Marea. Writers Mercedes Cebrián, Daniel Bernabé, José Ovejero, Edurne Portela, Eugenia Rico and Isaac Rosa dive into the consumerism craze of Christmas shopping in the emblematic department stores "El corte Inglés".
In this Illustration for the cover of Yorokobu Magazine, I wanted to play with the idea of a sound underwater that would be barely audible or be heard with a strange distorsion. And how the impulse of making that sound created all this movement of the w
ater and kept the character suspended upside down. She has something of a nymph with that undetermined outfit and she´s looking straight at us in this rare instant. I wanted to draw something very sensorial, a drawing that you could feel.
