She observes plants and animals as a naturalist and feels colour and composition in a very intuitive way, always using a mix of techniques. Her art restless and constantly evolving shines through murals, exhibitions in art galleries, decorative pieces and in published books.

«Spontaneous and optimistic, Joana Santamans is a multifaceted artist who tackles with the same approach the painting of a mural, the illustration of a book, the transforming song lyrics into images or the turning a random object into a work of art. She does it always with the same goal: bringing through art something special to this world.»
