Montse Graduated in Fine Art from Barcelona and specialized in illustration at ENSAD, Paris. She works near the Italian Alps, surrounded by photographs from the turn of 20th century, old books of botany and zoology, paper ephemera, drawings of Ingres and flea market "treasures". She loves the portrait and understands it as a way of rediscovering a person, to go beyond the surface of that which is shown to us at first glance and which can be touched… Clients include The New Yorker, Nike and BMW.
