Olalla Ruiz is an illustrator from Toledo, now based in Granada. She studied Fine Arts and discovered in illustration a mode of expression that allows her to unite art and design through drawing.

Her graphic style is inspired by medieval and Eastern art, although her work also has other influences, primarily from literature, classic cinema, and black and white photography.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with media outlets and organizations such as El País, Casio, Cultura Inquieta, and Cinemanía.

Among her personal projects, her Collection of Illustrious Portraits stands out. This constantly growing work depicts figures from music, science, film, literature, and feminism. In this series, well-known figures—such as Rocío Jurado and Frida Kahlo—coexist with lesser-known ones whom she seeks to bring to light, such as the pioneering filmmaker Alice Guy. It is a living and ever-evolving project, to which she constantly adds new faces that inspire her and which she celebrates through her unique perspective.
