An illustration featuring three panels. The first panel is of an angry blue bird looking under a rock and saying "Nothing." The second panel is the same bird looking in the grass with a magnifying glass and saying "Nothing!" The third panel is the largest and is a bird's eye view of a park and the same bird showing "NOTHING!!!" in large, red, shouty letters. An illustration of an orange cat in an astronaut suit and floating in space. He is looking happily at three constellations of a fish, a mouse, and a ball of yarn. An illustration of a boy and ghost looking fearfully at one another. The boy is reading a book called "Ghost Stories" and the ghost is reading a book called "Human Stories." The illustration uses a limited palette of blue, dark blue, and white. A black and white pencil illustration of a young girl in an oversized, itchy sweater. She is growing increasingly agitated at the itchiness and trying but failing to take the sweater off.

Cover for the baby bath book "veo, veo, un submarino", surrounded by a lot of marine animals like a killer whale, a turtle and an octopus... Illustration for a pumpkin cream soup with crispy artichokes recipe. The illustration has an illustrated frame showing the ingredients and some of the utensils needed for the recipe. Inside, we can see a garden where a badger, a dormouse, and an owl are collecting the necessary ingredients for the recipe. Vector illustration of two barn owls: A mother and her child flying in a starry purple night. "Jordina, The botanic dragon" is a cute vectorial illustration made with illustrator to celebrate "Sant Jordi", a popular festival from Catalonia, where every April 24 people traditionally give their loved ones a book and a rose.

A lush, intricate gouache painting featuring many leaves in different colors and textures, plus native birds, insects, flowers, and seeds. A gouache painting featuring a grasshopper sparrow sitting among a riot of pastel wildflowers. Behind it a gray birch reaches into a blue sky. A crop from a painting featuring a windswept brown-haired girl gently holding an egg, looking up in the direction of the wind at the legs of a crane taking off above her. Gouache painting featuring a cross-section of a garden: above the earth, radish leaves are covered in ladybugs; below the earth, radishes, roots, and earthworms are visible in the dirt.
