Mar Delmar is an artist and illustrator from Barcelona, Spain. She has illustrated more than 20 books and worked for clients like Penguin Random House, Christian Louboutin, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Architectural Digest Germany, Deloitte, and many others.
She has collaborated with galleries like Spoke Art Gallery (SF and NYC, EUA), Galleries 1988 (Los Angeles, EUA), Copro Gallery (Los Angeles, EUA), Youn Gallery (Montreal, Canada), Boom Gallery (Victoria, Australia), Gorjfest Art Festival (Targu Jiu, Romania), etc. selling little dioramas and original artwork to art collectors around the world.
After some painful years her work evolved from little dioramas of places she'd seen in travels or frames from films (from speaking from someone else's point of view) to finding her own voice and finally talking about herself. Nowadays her work is more introspective and symbolic, sharing her thoughts and emotions with the world through it.
