Ana Jarén

Ana Jarén (Sevilla, 1985) began her professional career in the fashion communication sector, in Madrid, where she is currently based. Being surrounded by designers, stylists and magazines ignited her most creative facet and she began here work as an illustrator.

With time, illustration became her way of life, her professional focus. She spent various years living in the UK and Belgium, incorporating all of the stimuli that these countries provided for her and shaped her style.

In her work, Ana captures the beauty of life, people and daily scenes, and revelling in and embellishing small details. Many of the protagonists in her work are popular cultural icons, in domestic scenes with products of daily consumption.

The world of feelings and emotions occupy a preferencial place en her work, introducing characters in evocative contexts to be completed by the spectator.
