My name is Nur Ventura, and I’m an illustrator and author from Barcelona, Spain.
I specialize in children’s illustration and work across many formats, from picture books and early readers to nonfiction series, educational publishing, and activity books. I also write and illustrate my own stories, often inspired by everyday life, nature, and small magical moments.
I love creating warm, expressive characters and visual stories that connect with young readers. Since becoming a full-time illustrator, I’ve worked with publishers and institutions on a wide range of projects, always looking for new ways to learn, grow, and explore visual storytelling.
I currently live in Barcelona with my partner, my son and two cats, both adorable, but not exactly best friends.
