Who is Puapualena?

Puapualena is the name I chose back in 2018, when I started sharing my art online. I was looking for a name related to the word flower (which was the only thing I drew back then). I’m the one behind Puapualena: Nathalia, Colombian illustrator living in Barcelona.

What began as a personal process slowly became something bigger. A way to motivate others to create, to explore their own artistic voice, and to build confidence in their creative journey.

My work is mostly analog, intuitive, and expressive. I love translating reality into images that feel alive, vibrant, and imperfect in the best way.

I’d love to hear from you.

I’m always open to new creative collaborations, commissions, and illustration projects.
If you think my visual style could bring something special to your idea, just send me a message and let’s talk about it.
