I'm from Asturias. I was born in Mieres, a mining town surrounded by very green mountains where as I was told as a child, lived mythological beings whose stories filled my childhood with magic. I often go to Asturias since I now live in Alicante, by the Mediterranean, a sea to which I have devoted many pages of my work. But I also spent twenty years in Morocco, and my travelling spirit has made me travel half the world. This is probably due to the fact that I always dreamed of broader horizons.
Conchi Monzonís and Antonio Giménez established Editorial Pencil in the year 2005, with the purpose of publishing educational books devoted to the area of architecture and construction.
