I've turned my complex into my new way of life

I'm Ainoa, I live in Sant Just Desvern (Barcelona) and I've managed to turn one of my biggest insecurities into my passion.

I have a degree in Human Biology and have been a professional in the pharmaceutical industry for over 16 years.

I've always had a very creative side, but to be honest, until very recently I haven't allowed it to see the light.

When I was a child, I avoided drawing. I was told it was something I was bad at, and a perfectionist like me couldn't afford to try.

"Fortunately, some time later I came across a book that made me think, am I really not capable?"

Many hours of practice, training, and a whole process of self-discovery have finally allowed my creativity to take the lead.

Now, painting is my way of life.​
