Mirena Ossorno (born 1987 in Denia, lives and works in Barcelona) is a graphic artist who after finishing illustration studies at La Massana art school immersed herself into the world of self-edition. She's responsible for the fanzine
Sueño Samoano, with four published issues so far, and also for the renowned feminist fanzine
Bulbasaur, co-edited with Andrea Alvarado Vives and Blanca Miró, on which they combine a focus on fresh aesthetics with poignant essays, reviews and dissemination: a political oasis of lipsticks with razorblades. As artist and illustrator, the work of Ossorno is eminently
Pop, based on
re-appropriation and
conceptual playfulness. Inspired by 80s aesthetics as much as by 70s art direction, her style has evolved from the dirty lines of her first creations to an much more subtle line used on her current work which comprises gags, patterns, interiors and posters inspired by her own day-to-day experiences.
