Miriam Escobosa

Míriam Escobosa Lázaro was born in Sabadell, Barcelona in 1982. She's mother of two, a CrossFit addict and a chocolate lover.
When she was a child, she spent most of her days drawing and colouring instead of playing with dolls or outside. She loved watching movies, cartoon series and drawing the characters after the episode. She also loved to play board or cards games and video games came later too.

All these memories make she think that she haven't changed so much in all these years and her inner child is still here. She has never stopped drawing, but it wasn't after having her first daughter, when she decided to get away from the design, art direction and design management to be a professional illustrator, what she wanted to be since she was a child: "When I grow up, I want to be a painter. But not a wall painter, a paintings artist", she used to say.

Her style is a mix between the two big influences from her childhood: anime and animation (like Dr. Slump tv serial or Disney movies). She like the stories of unusual characters on fantastic worlds and she loves to draw characters full of emotion and values expressing the joy, illusion and magic seen through the eyes of a child.
Most of her projects are digital but she also enjoy when the project fits in with traditional illustration and she can use watercolor and colored pencils.
She's focused on children's and young adults world but she also create book covers, comics, games, personal commissions, videogames and any interesting artistic collaboration to continue filling her life with colors.

Creativity is her energy. She's a dreamer and an idealistic person, but at the same time she's very practical, direct, determined and independent. What motivates she the most is finding solutions, working on change and new challenges. She's a result oriented person and her main value is her strong drive and determination to achieve the objectives.
