What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
<\/strong>En el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o he ilustrado varios libros para ni\u00f1os, algunos de ellos escritos por m\u00ed. Normalmente trabajo solamente en uno o dos libros al mismo tiempo, pero el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o se me fue de las manos y he llegado a encadenar (o solapar) hasta cinco. Estos \u00faltimos meses he empezado a ver la luz al final del t\u00fanel y me he metido en alg\u00fan otro foll\u00f3n, como exponer en una galer\u00eda en Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
<\/strong>En realidad, estoy aprendiendo a desaprender, lo cual es bastante complicado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llevo casi veinte a\u00f1os trabajando como ilustradora. Todo lo aprendido en etapas anteriores me ha permitido, por ejemplo, terminar estos cinco libros, pero tambi\u00e9n me ha llevado a cierto agotamiento mental; se podr\u00eda decir que el proceso se vuelve mon\u00f3tono, repetitivo, casi matem\u00e1tico, justo lo contrario de lo que deber\u00eda ser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed que estoy intentando aprender a volver a empezar, sin olvidar todo lo aprendido por el camino. No es f\u00e1cil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
<\/strong>No estoy segura de qui\u00e9n es esta frase, o si me la he inventado yo sacando cosas de aqu\u00ed y de all\u00ed, pero resume perfectamente todo lo que me ha estado rondando estos meses: \u201cTrabajar muy en serio, como los ni\u00f1os cuando juegan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
<\/strong>Sin entrar en muchos detalles, se ha colado la vida entre medias. A veces se cuelan discos, libros o pelis. Otras veces dejas un resquicio abierto y se cuela la dura realidad. Eso me ha pasado en los \u00faltimos meses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
<\/strong>Precisamente eso que comentaba antes: evitar la repetici\u00f3n, la monoton\u00eda, y seguir jugando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambiar y, a la vez, seguir siendo la misma. Avanzar sin traicionarme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's your favourite restaurant and why do you like going there?
<\/strong>Hace mucho que no iba a mi restaurante favorito, y acaba de cerrar. As\u00ed que sirva esta respuesta como homenaje:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No se llamaba Mam\u00e1 (se llamaba \u201cBar La Luna<\/strong><\/a>\u201d), pero lo llam\u00e1bamos Mam\u00e1, por razones obvias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era un sitio muy cutre y muy peque\u00f1o donde Mam\u00e1 siempre consegu\u00eda hacerte sitio en una de sus dos mesas y te hac\u00eda sentir como en casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No ten\u00eda carta. Mam\u00e1 te ofrec\u00eda lo que hab\u00eda cocinado ese d\u00eda: siempre comida casera y deliciosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me quedo con su bandeja de filetes empanados y sus patatas fritas (con ensalada de tomate para aligerar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si Mam\u00e1 ve\u00eda tu plato vac\u00edo, te lo volv\u00eda a llenar de filetes y patatas, no fueras a pasar hambre. Ten\u00edamos que crecer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larga vida a Mam\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
<\/strong>Insomnio<\/em>. Miles Davis <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which studios, laboratories, or workshops have you collaborated with recently or would you like to collaborate with in the future?
<\/strong>Acabo de colaborar con la galer\u00eda Mad is Mad<\/strong><\/a>, de Madrid, y creo que vamos a repetir porque ha salido todo muy bien y nos lo hemos pasado muy bien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He colaborado en m\u00e1s de una ocasi\u00f3n con la Familia Pl\u00f3mez<\/strong><\/a>, pero hace tiempo que no hacemos nada juntos y creo que ya va tocando repetir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y el a\u00f1o pasado iba a impartir un taller en Bar Futura<\/strong><\/a>, pero, como dije antes, la vida se col\u00f3 entre medias y no pudo ser. Tenemos pendiente ese taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
<\/strong>Picasso, porque hac\u00eda lo que le daba la gana y m\u00e1s.
Saul Steinberg<\/strong><\/a>, por su inteligencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entre los actuales: Nathaniel Russell<\/strong><\/a>, por su poes\u00eda sobre lo mundano; y Laura Carlin<\/strong><\/a>, porque es la mejor y su trabajo, de alguna manera que no s\u00e9 explicar, conecta con mi infancia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
