Mariona Cabassa, born in 1977 in the vibrant city of Barcelona, lives there with her son, Martin.

Her journey in art began at Massana Art School and continued with postgraduate studies at l’École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. For the past 25 years, she has immersed herself in the world of book illustration, exploring painting, drawing, and embroidery—both on paper and large-scale fabrics. Around the age of 40, she ventured into tattooing, bringing her artistic visions to life on skin.

Throughout her career, Mariona has published nearly 100 books, countless schoolbooks, and illustrated a wide range of products such as puzzles, decorative vinyls, bags, toys, postcards, posters, and wine labels. She has also taught at several art schools in Barcelona and led her own workshops.

A wanderer at heart, she captures moments through photography, cherishes silence, and finds joy in wide-open spaces and small gatherings. She needs big windows to see the sky, hours of solitude, and natural light. She loves traveling, spending time with friends, savoring her morning coffee, and swimming every day. Though she has attempted to learn the cello twice without much success, she remains hopeful for another try.

Curiosity drives her, and her love for nature—passed down from a family of gardeners—is reflected in both her work and the gardens she has nurtured over the years.

Mariona believes art and creativity are essential tools for everyone, offering a magical way to connect with the world and bring more beauty into it. She hopes her work inspires others and brings a touch of magic to their lives.

If you are interested in purchasing one of her large-format pieces, creating a tattoo project together, or organizing a workshop or talk, you are welcome to get in touch.

She is represented internationally by The Bright Agency, except in Spain.
