Hello!

My name is Cristina and I am .

I grew up drawing fairies and princesses in a village in the mountains of Madrid. Nowadays I still like drawing fantastic characters and making up stories using clichés and everyday characters with a touch of humour.

I have experience doing illustrations for books, comics, magazines, mural paintings, exhibitions, fanzines… I am part of the Zotachi and Pedo de Lobo collectives. In my free time you can find me reading, making crafts, playing board games, watching series or walking in the mountains.

For projects or commissions, you can contact me through my email: hola@cristinallera.com or by filling in the form on the contact page.
