Based near Barcelona, Sil Barrios brings over 25 years of experience as a freelance creative and university professor to her illustration practice. With a background in advertising and public relations from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, she balances her role as a teacher of Creativity and Art Direction at the University of Vic with her work as a graphic designer and illustrator. Her work, including the notable "Gordes" project, focuses on reclaiming social space through the depiction of fat bodies.
