Lorente, Lola: - Lola Lorente (1980) was born in Bigastro, a small town in southeastern Spain. Her trajectory has been shaped by winning competitions and scholarships, working on graphic novels, moving cities, creating occasional illustrations for print media, and a long list of part-time jobs. Her first book, Sangre de mi sangre, won her the prize for best new author at the Barcelona International Comic Fair. The French edition of this book was nominated for several categories at the 2024 Angoulême Festival. She currently lives in Madrid, where she spends her time creating comics and teaching drawing in public art schools. When she's not drawing, she likes to knit weird sweaters.
