Aben Montesinos (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Gran Canaria, 1987) is a visual artist and illustrator. She trained in Graphic Design at the EASDGC and later specialised in illustration through the Master’s Degree in Advanced Graphic Design and Applied Illustration at IDEP Barcelona.
Her practice, positioned between illustration and painting, explores colour as a core expressive element, alongside floral imagery and the female figure, creating harmonious and visually fresh compositions. Since 2019, she has developed personal projects and collaborated with public institutions, companies, and private clients. That same year, she received the Gold Award in Illustration in the student category for the project Agorafobia. Caja de salvamento, granted by DI-CA at the Canary Islands Design Awards.
Her work includes exhibitions, murals, workshops, talks, campaigns, and actions in both public and private spaces, including artistic interventions in private homes, understanding art as a space for exploration, expression, and exchange.
