I came across the work of Spanish artist Ana González Prieto through her shop this morning and was immediately intrigued and wanted to find out more – her paintings are intricate and beautiful in a haunting way, hinting at stories hidden just beneath the surface. Do you want to know a bit more?

She also uses decor magazines and her own home as inspiration for some of the elements of her work, such as the chandelier in the painting below:
Fascinated by illuminated manuscripts, Ana keeps a large collection in her studio to leaf through for inspiration; here she has woven her own story into a painting inspired by this tradition:
