Hi! I’m Sara.
Saru, Saruchi… that’s what my family and close friends call me. I grew up in a small, windy village in the south of Tenerife, surrounded by the sea —my escape and greatest source of inspiration. I studied illustration at Swansea University in Wales and later moved to Italy to complete a Master’s in Editorial Illustration at Ars in Fabula.
Books have been a fundamental part of my life since I was a child. I remember devouring them one after another, captivated by the fairy illustrations of Cicely Mary Barker and the magical poems of Rubén Darío. Those images, along with the many stories I fell in love with throughout my childhood and teenage years, sparked my love for drawing. What began as a hobby, recreating characters, soon turned into a passion for creating my own worlds and stories.
Today, I work as a professional illustrator, bringing books, ideas, and events to life by blending my experience in illustration and editorial design. I also teach languages, a journey I started by chance but now enjoy immensely.
Through my work, I aim to capture the magic of stories and the beauty of moments, creating illustrations that resonate with emotion, humor, and imagination. If you’d like to know more or collaborate with me, I’m here to help make your ideas come to life!
