Illustration technique

Her main skill is that she is able to reinvent herself while following a very personal and consistent style. Her work has a great narrative potential. Her style is characterised mainly by her interpretation of each book and her illustrations that tell the story.

They are apparently simple illustrations, with well-defined lines and not many colours.[3]
