Zuriñe Aguirre is an illustrator and designer. Many people call her Zu. She was born in Vitoria, Spain, and now lives in Seville. She loves drawing, India ink, textures, textile design, children’s stories, things that are different and special… And her favourite character is Mafalda. She loves light and shadow, colours that convey joy and peacefulness, playing with silences and noises in her illustrations and the different challenges of each project. She is in love with pattern design, and she applies it to her creations. She enjoys giving children’s illustration and pattern design classes at the University of Fine Arts in Seville.
