WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
David Gmez (Cdiz, Spain, 1977) combines his writing profession with his work at the Observatory of Childhood and Adolescence of Andalusia (OIA-A). The social activism complements all of this he engages in to raise awareness about functional diversity, particularly related to the autism spectrum (he is the father of a 15-year-old autistic child who has already managed to publish his first book). After studying Library and Documentation Science at the University of Granada, he decided to stay in Alhambra, where he has already published six illustrated albums, which he managed to bring together his passion for literature and art. Carolina Luzn, born in Barcelona in 1972, holds a Ph.D. in Fine Arts from the University of Seville and a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the University of Granada. After a long and flourishing pictorial career full of exhibitions (both individual and collective in Spain, Italy, France, and the United States) and awards in painting and drawing (including the Gregorio Prieto First Prize, City of Tomelloso First Prize, and Province of Guadalajara First Prize), she moved to Italy in 2011, where she redirected her career towards illustration. She works in Florence as a drawing teacher. She has already published over a dozen books and received numerous awards that endorse her extraordinary work.
