Clara Dies Valls was born in València in 1996 and, ever since, she has been slowly but surely moving northwards, away from the Mediterranean. She is an illustrator, concept artist, non-academic folklore researcher and all-around quite poorly self-restrained freelancer. Licensed in Fine Arts by the Universitat Politècnica de València in 2018, she has also studied film production design at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey and a master’s in concept art at the Escola de Cinema de Barcelona, as well as scientific illustration.

She works as illustrator, concept artist and designer since 2017, self-publishing since 2020. In 2021 she released Bestiario de Tierra y Tinta (later translated to English as Land and Ink: An illustrated bestiary of Spanish folklore), a book regarding mythology from a linguistic diversity perspective, that was nominated for a Best Anthology Ignotus award. In 2023 she published Breve viaje por la España de las brujas alongside Javier Prado, first in self-publishing and later with Sugaar publishing house, taking a parallel look at folklore and history of witchcraft in Spain. In 2024 she crowdfunded the project for the queer fairy tale anthology Salir del camino, as coordinator, editor, illustrator, designer and prologue writer.
She is fond of sobaos pasiegos, corvids, live sketching musicians and skies clouded enough to cover up the sun. She currently stretches works and projects over more hours than the day is long, and enjoys learning in any class that will not kick her out.
