enamorarte
Painting without emotions is like a sunrise in black and white. Art should evoke feelings, allowing the observer to connect with their own inner wisdom and discover new parts of themselves. Through beauty and humor, art can hold a mirror up to society reflecting our truths.
I'm Edith, a passionate painter and coach based in Barcelona. With a love for color, form, and storytelling, I create artwork that resonates with both the heart and the mind.
My work is inspired by my journeys—both external and internal—encompassing themes of devotional art, spirituality, plant medicine, shadow work, awakening, and community in a world facing crisis. I aim to create beauty amid terror, drawing parallels to artists like Picasso and Van Gogh, who painted during tumultuous times.
Throughout my journey, I have studied art history and have always been passionate about consuming, creating, and experimenting with art. However, in recent years, I hadn’t allowed myself the time or permission to engage deeply with my artistic side. I often viewed it as unproductive or not useful in contributing to my career.
This realization has sparked a desire to reclaim my creativity, recognizing that art is not just a pastime but an essential part of my identity. Embracing this passion allows me to explore new ideas, express my emotions, and ultimately enrich my life and work in ways I had previously overlooked.
The Journey So Far...

From Lifecoach to Painter
Recovering Workaholic
As a life coach, I dedicated my life to helping others find balance and fulfillment, often sacrificing my own well-being in the process. My days were consumed with client sessions and endless tasks, leaving little room for self-care or creativity. This relentless pursuit of success took a toll on my mental health, leaving me burned out, anxious, and disconnected from my passions. It was during this challenging period that I picked up the paintbrush.
03
The Quest For Expression
After attending a plant medicine retreat, I felt a deep urge to express myself in new ways. Throughout my life, I’ve searched for means to communicate the complexities of my inner world. Despite being fluent in several languages, I often struggled to find the words that truly conveyed my feelings.
In this quest, I studied neuro-linguistic programming and public speaking, believing these skills would help me connect with others. I learned the power of metaphors, yet I still felt unsatisfied, realizing that words often fall short of expressing our emotions completely.
I began to heal and reconnect with myself, learning to prioritize self-care and listen to my inner voice. Painting became a powerful tool for self-reflection, helping me address the root of my workaholism.
Now, I integrate my background as a life coach into my work as an illustrator, using my understanding of personal growth and healing to create art that resonates deeply with others.

Finding My Voice
One day, a small box in a shop window caught my eye, prompting me to purchase my first set of paints. Without hesitation, I began painting that very afternoon, and I’ve embraced it daily since. Unlike other pursuits, painting came naturally to me. I often reflected that learning art is akin to discovering a new language—initially frustrating yet incredibly liberating once you find your voice.
As I practiced urban sketching and experimented with color and light, I broke through and learned to express myself more freely. Painting became my language, allowing me to communicate the depths of my soul in ways words never could.
