Based in Murcia, Spain, Ana Martinez creates under the professional name El buen limón. Her practice is deeply rooted in the Danish concept of Hygge, focusing on the creation of cozy, comforting environments through art. By observing the small details of garden plants and forest walks, she translates the quiet beauty of the natural world into digital and watercolor-style illustrations. Martinez describes her creative approach as existing halfway between science books and art. This perspective results in a meticulous focus on organic textures and forms, from intricate insects to botanical studies. Her work has gained professional recognition, including the placement of her digital edition "Begonia Maculata" within the permanent collection of the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts.
