I’m Angeles Nieto, illustrator and visual artist. Born and grew up in Madrid. Now the half of my life living in the Netherlands. I work from my studio in Amsterdam and from Thorn. I like contrasts, they keep me sharp, Spain, the Netherlands, the city and the countryside, art and illustrations, photography or painting, free work and work on assignment, thinking and action, paella and sauerkraut.
I am fascinated for communication. My passion is people, their being and their interaction, my challenge is creativity, my language is images. From the eye, along the brain to the hand. I’m glad if my images hit you. Let’s get together, I’m happy to work with you.
