THE SECRET LIFE OF FAIRIES
I really wanted to share with you some images and sketches of the latest book I made with the writer Sofía Rhei “ The Secret Life of Fairies ” :)
Published by Lunwerg, it is part of the new collection " Extraordinary Creatures "
The book was a collaborative effort, with both Sofía and I sharing a clear vision for exploring the world of fairies. After exchanging ideas, we began working in parallel. Sofía sent me the texts, and I, in turn, sent her sketches and ideas that inspired new stories. Above all, we wanted to connect with human emotions and, through fairies, appreciate the small details that surround us.
Being fortunate enough to have complete freedom in creating the illustrations, I wanted to experiment with various techniques. During the process, I had a lot of fun testing and playing with different materials, from pencil, charcoal, and ink to watercolor and oil paint. I wanted to use a wide range of techniques to give each story its own unique personality.
I've attached some sketches and the final results. I hope you like it! :)
Synopsis
“Fairies are fascinating and mysterious beings, and they are closer to us than we think. This book is a gateway to their world and a source of valuable information on how to find them and connect with their protective energy.”
Discovering the astonishing secrets surrounding these creatures will help you recognize the signs of their presence and understand the special relationship they have with natural elements and living beings. A new and evocative perspective that will enchant you through the magic of everyday life.

LA VIDA SECRETA DE LAS HADAS
Me apetecía mucho compartir con vosotros algunas imágenes y bocetos del último libro que he realizado junto a la escritora Sofía Rhei “La vida secreta de las Hadas” :)
Editado por Lunwerg, forma parte de la nueva colección "Criaturas extraordinarias"
El libro fue un trabajo conjunto en el que tanto Sofía como yo, compartimos una visión clara sobre la exploración del mundo de las hadas. Tras hacer un intercambio de ideas, comenzamos a trabajar en paralelo. Sofía me enviaba los textos, y a su vez, yo le hacía llegar bocetos e ideas que inspiraban nuevas historias. Quisimos sobre todo conectar con las emociones humanas, y, mediante las Hadas, apreciar los pequeños detalles que nos rodean.
Al tener la suerte de contar con total libertad para la creación de las ilustraciones, quise experimentar con diversas técnicas. Durante el proceso me he divertido mucho probando y jugando con los diferentes materiales desde lápiz, carbón, tinta hasta acuarela y óleo. He querido utilizar una amplia gama de técnicas para que cada una de las historias tuviera su propia personalidad.
Adjunto algunos bocetos y los resultados finales. Espero que os guste! :)
Sinopsis
“Las hadas son seres fascinantes y misteriosos, y están más cerca de nosotros de lo que creemos. Este libro es una puerta de acceso a su mundo y una fuente de valiosa información sobre cómo encontrarlas y conectar con su energía protectora.
Descubrir los asombrosos secretos que envuelven a estas criaturas te ayudará a reconocer las señales de su presencia y a entender la relación tan especial que mantienen con los elementos naturales y los seres vivos. Una nueva y sugerente mirada que te hechizará a través de la magia de lo cotidiano”.

ooohhhh how beautiful Ana!!! all charming and magical like the theme, what a joy to work on such a beautiful project. Congratulations! They have a component that really immerses the viewer into the world of fairies, it is not like other books on this topic that I have seen, but rather it seems that one is in the forest with them, beautiful!!
