Illustrator and visual artist

01
Name and Occupation.
Maialen Arocena, illustrator and visual artist.


02
Artwork or piece with which you feel most satisfied or that you believe best represents you.

I feel better painting or drawing when I do it freely, when I don't have a deadline, when it's not work. My travel sketchbooks are a reflection of drawing for the sake of it. And I love them. I’ve been completing notebooks since I was 16 years old, and they’re a reflection of me and my experiences.

My first work was on the shutter of my father's garage, in 2009.
