She graduated in illustration at Llotja Art School in Barcelona. She has illustrated many projects for different markets from design, editorial, cinema, theatre to publishing with Spanish and International book publishers.

As a painter, Mercè loves to demonstrate being original and unique when working on a painting. She diligently works long hours to exhibit a specific atmosphere and incorporate movement to the imagery. She thrives to show all the complexity in a character and in a scene. She appreciates the personal experience of actually looking and noticing the details, textures and brushstrokes of a finished painting. Mercè’ work is inspired by her travels, friends, music, Japanese martial arts, and different cultures that brings her better appreciation of life. She recently moved to Mallorca Spain—for a new adventure!
