Marta Contreras i Agramunt

My universe draws inspiration, to a large extent, from the animal world. I like to observe my surroundings and transform it into characters, stories and small narratives.

I graduated in Audiovisual Communication at the University of Vic in 2009 and subsequently specialized in illustration with the Postgraduate Diploma in Illustration of Children's and Young Adult Publications at EINA, in 2011. Between 2019 and 2021, I completed the 2D Animation Master at ECIB.

In the editorial field, I have developed various projects, among which Formigues a la cuina and Formigues a l'aspiradora, written by Joan Camises and published by Piscina editions, as well as Un petit oceà stand out.

I have also created several murals inspired by the animal world in cities such as Barcelona, Tarragona, Koh Samui and Phuket (Thailand), and Battambang (Cambodia).

In the field of graphic design, I have taken part in projects such as the merchandising design for the documentary La bodega d'en Rafel. As for animation, I have produced projects such as the 2D animation music video for the song Perro, by the band Sandré.

Alongside my artistic practice, for more than ten years I have worked as an illustrator and graphic designer at the Banc de Sang i Teixits de Catalunya, where I develop communication projects that aim to bring blood and tissue donation closer to the public. Among these projects, the children's book La història dels superherois de la sang stands out.
