The name Renata comes from Italian and it means "reborn" But everybody knows me as Rena.

I’m an illustrator, designer and explorer of the world based in Galicia, between the ocean and the mountains.

During childhood, I was surrounded by nature, stationery and illustrated books which have influenced me to focus on the details and the strength of color. My daily inspiration comes from nature, the slow life and my passion for books and travel, thanks to which I’ve specialized in watercolor illustration of whales, fauna and flora, travels and maps. All these elements become part of my creative work and my visual language, providing an inner part of me and my essence in everything I do.

For me, work and personal life comes together in a single way of life where color, illustration, nature and my passion for travelling coexist in perfect harmony.

Soy ilustradora de la naturaleza, libros y viajes. Exploradora del mundo y activista de la pasión, el color, la belleza y el mundo natural. Nacida cerca de Barcelona y actualmente viviendo en Galicia, entre el océano y las montañas.

Mis ilustraciones buscan despertar conciencias sobre la belleza de este mundo y promover la conservación de la naturaleza e inspirar la vida de las personas mediante proyectos relacionados con el mundo editorial, los viajes, la naturaleza y el océano.

"The world is a book and those who do not travel or don't discovered it, read only a page."
