The archaeological route of mequinenza

The Legacy of the Land is an interpretative route that connects two archaeological sites and other locations of interest near Mequinenza in an attempt to bring the past closer to the present. The route unveils how the local history surrounding the mining and the water-based transportation of coal is carefully weaved into the fabric of the Earth—the same fabric that still keeps remanents of funerary rites from the second milenia B.C.Services

Cold Domes

The Cold Domes project focuses on the ice and snow houses built in the Bajo Aragón region in the 17th century, when the snow commerce net was at its highest point, and takes visitors to the past with an itinerary that goes through 8 of the refurbished snow houses in the area, all catalogued as BIC. The aim of the project is to bring attention to the importance of their recovery and protection as historical heritage elements.Services

5th International Professional Geology Conference

The 5th IPGC, celebrated on November of 2025, highlighted the evolution of professional geology and addressed the significant challenges it faces, such as geological hazards, environmental sustainability, and the decline in the number of professionals in the discipline. The conference also promoted the creation of a World Professional Geology Organization, dedicated to offer knowledge for the benefit of society under the motto “Building on the Past, Advancing towards the Future: Geology in the Era of Technology”.This project entailed the exploration of two versions of a photocall, located at the entrance of the building to both catch the visitor's attention and showcase the organizers and promoters of the conference.Services

> About me

Hi there! My name is diana.

I am one of those people that picked up a pencil when they were a kid and never put it down. That's why I studied Art and Design in the University of the Basque Country (UPV) with a major in Illustration, and then graduated in Illustration from the Art School of Zaragoza.I have worked locally as a graphic designer for more than 4 years, creating new visual identities for museums and exhibitions focused on the showcasing of paleontology and cultural heritage, and designing signage and poster layouts for institutions with stablished corporative identities. I've also had the opportunity to design and layout scientific posters, technical proposals for project biddings, and multimedia platforms such as apps, websites and interactive interfaces.My attentive, detail-oriented work and the experience I've collected these last few years in all the stages of the graphic design process, from the conception of ideas to the final completion of virtual and physical deliveries, have led me to coordinate and supervise multiple projects as a project manager.Regarding my artwork, in the last 4 years I've created multiple scientific illustrations with themes such as paleontology, archaeology and biodiversity, sometimes specialized for juvenile audiences and children. Apart from that, I've worked on many private commissions and pieces meant for project collaborations aimed to support different charities. But without any doubt I'm most prolific in my personal work, where I explore themes of love, intimacy and the intricacies of personal relationships from a queer perspective.

> Sobre mí

¡Hola! Me llamo Diana.

Soy una de esas personas que cogieron un lápiz cuando eran niñas y ya no lo soltaron. Por ello estudié Creación y Diseño en la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV) con un minor en Ilustración, y después me gradué en Illustración en la Escuela de Arte de Zaragoza.He trabajado localmente como diseñadora gráfica durante más de 4 años, creando identidades visuales nuevas para museos y exposiciones centradas en la difusión de paleontología y patrimonio cultural, y realizando diseño de maquetación de pósters y señalética para instituciones con identidades corporativas ya establecidas. También he tenido la oportunidad de diseñar y maquetar pósters científicos, ofertas técnicas para adjudicaciones de concursos, y plataformas multimedia como apps, páginas web e interfaces interactivas.Mi trabajo atento y orientado al detalle, así como los años de experiencia que he recolectado hasta ahora dentro de cada etapa del proceso de diseño gráfico, desde la concepción de ideas hasta la finalización de entregables virtuales y físicos, me han llevado a coordinar y supervisar múltiples proyectos como responsable de proyectos.En cuanto a mis obras artísticas, en los últimos 4 años he creado múltiples ilustraciones científicas con temas como la paleontología, la arqueología y la biodiversidad, en ocasiones especializadas para audiencias infantiles. Además, he trabajado en numerosos encargos privados y también en ilustraciones enmarcadas en proyectos colaborativos destinados a la recaudación de fondos para diversas organizaciones benéficas. Pero, sin ninguna duda, donde soy más prolífica es en mis ilustraciones personales, donde exploro temas como el amor, la intimidad y los entresijos de las relaciones interpersonales, todo a través de una mirada queer.
