Adolfo Serra (Teruel, 1980) studied Advertising and Public Relations at the Complutense University of Madrid, but soon turned to what has been his passion since childhood: drawing, picking up pencils and watercolors at Madrid's School of Art 10. Since then, his table has been filled with colors, papers, textures, and stories.
He likes to experiment, play, and most of all, tell stories. He considers himself an explorer of blank pages, who is constantly filling them with illustrations focused on children and young people.
His illustrations have been selected at Bologna Children's Book Fair (Italy), Bratislava Illustration Biennial (Slovakia), Sharjah Children's Book Fair (United Arab Emirates), Ibero-American Illustration Catalog (Mexico), CJ Picture Book Awards (Korea), Mostra Internazionale d'Illustrazione per l'Infanzia Sàrmede (Italy).
His textless version of Little Red Riding Hood has been published in Spain, Germany, France, and Mexico, receiving various awards. He has recently been the winner of the 19th Illustrated Album Prize "A la orilla del viento" by Fondo de Cultura Económica.
