These sorts of experiences marked her forever, and nowadays, they have become her main source of inspiration. Soon after she graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from University of Granada, she travelled all around Europe, where she could discover herself as an artist. She is now back in Spain, giving her the opportunity to reconnect with her roots and the joy of living in nature, where all her inspiration comes from, her little wild world.
