Carol Isern (Badalona, 1967) studied Philology at Universitat de Barcelona. In her twenties she started painting on her own until she began studying in painter Ortuño’s studio. Afterwards she studied Graphic Design at Escola Massana and Illustration at Escola Eina, and worked for a short while as an assistant in the studio of the painter Gino Rubert.

She participated in the collective exhibition La Santa 2002 (Barcelona) and in 28 Hipermerc’art 2011 (Barcelona). From 2012 her small-format works can be found in Carré d’Artistes, and in 2015 she had her first solo exhibition at Dieu, moviment creatiu (Cadaqués).

During this period, she made illustrations for some publishing houses, including: Enciclopèdia Salvat, Punto de Lectura, Ediciones B and The New York Press.
