Nuria

Hey there! So, I’m originally from this small town called Baena in Spain, but Málaga’s really been my main stomping ground for most of my life. I ended up in London basically to break out of the predictable path everyone expected from me back home. I started out as an au pair, then jumped into hospitality, which definitely made me way more comfortable talking to people. But honestly, drawing was always my thing ,like, I used to paint clothes and do oil paintings back in Spain just for fun. I always dreamed of studying fine arts, but never really had the chance back then.

Then about a year and a bit ago, I got into tattooing thanks to my partner, and that’s when it hit me: I could actually live off my art. Suddenly work didn’t feel like work anymore, because I was doing something I genuinely love. I found out I can actually draw way better than I thought. And I absolutely love black and grey realism—portraits, surreal, fantasy, all the weird stuff, bring it on. Plus, these days you’ll find me cooking, hanging out with my cat, hitting up art galleries, and enjoying a good whiskey or craft beer. So yeah, that’s a little about me. Let’s catch up at the studio sometime!
