Ana Jarén, born in Seville, began her professional career in the fashion communication sector in Madrid, where she currently resides. Being surrounded by designers, stylists, and magazines ignited her creative side, leading to her first works as an illustrator. Over time, illustration became her primary occupation. She spent several years in the UK and Belgium, taking advantage of the stimuli these countries offered to develop her own style. In her work, Ana focuses on everyday scenes, the people, and the spaces they inhabit, paying close attention to small details. Many of the protagonists in her works are domestic popular culture icons, depicted in home settings and surrounded by everyday products. Emotions and feelings play a prominent role in her work, presenting characters in evocative contexts that the viewer can relate to with their own experiences. For her illustration, Ana was inspired by the theme of self-love and the importance of taking moments of introspection, where one escapes from obligations to fully immerse in the present.
