Biographie
Graduate in photography, project management and architecture.
In her personal work, she uses narrative based on documentary photography. She mixes reality and fiction, involving folklore and social customs (costumbrismo), popular culture, personal relationships, traditions and the specific identity of the city of Madrid. The stories are then inspired by the images already taken, with eccentricity and the picaresque as the common thread.
In 2021, she will publish ‘He plays the music, we dance’ and in 2022 ‘¿Y a esta rata quién la mata?’, both published by Dalpine.
She currently works as a freelance photographer. Her most recent work includes Misión región, a choral project on heritage and landscape in collaboration with the Comunidad de Madrid, the Fundación Telefónica, the Academia Española de Cine and the EACC Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo de Castellón, as well as work for various publications and magazines such as Vanity Fair.
At the same time, she gives workshops at the Blackkamera School of Photography, University of Burgos, the Elisa Miralles School of Photography, the Espai fotográfico Can Baste, the PhotoBook Café with Eduardo D'Acosta and PhotoAlicante.

Présentation
Gangster-like delinquent brothers devote their lives to committing medium-scale robberies in their neighborhood. Fantasizing about being the protagonists of popular gangster movies, they try to intimidate their neighbors, often without much success.
The brothers are about to receive a tip-off that will lead them to Galicia in search of their most impressive haul yet: a large shipment of luxurious French relics. What they don't expect is to mistakenly end up with a shipment of jugs, and all the consequences that this action will entail.
Gang leader Benigno, with his aggressive, even ominous air, could well be a man to be feared, even dreaded, but nothing could be further from the truth. Accompanied at all times by a Doberman he stole from the garden of an adjoining house when he was a puppy, between them the dog is undoubtedly the one who commands the most respect and is the appointed guardian of his territory.
Although he deliberately disguises himself as an old-school don of the local underworld, whom he defines as "a modern-day Al Capone with a splash of color", he's really nothing more than an aging Iberian thug who deals in the petty stuff that makes him the godfather no further than his own four walls. Despite this, he's the leader of the family gang, where he's stayed afloat for years thanks to odd jobs and looting that weren't worth convicting. This says a lot about the quality of the people around him, who are often seen barbecuing on the roof of the building while demonstrating their voyeuristic skills at their neighbors' expense.
