“The Rolls Royce of Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles” -Smithsonian Magazine, 1990
Ana Juan puzzles reflect a world of quiet mystery, bold imagination, and poetic detail. Born in Valencia, Spain in 1961, Ana studied fine arts before moving to Madrid, where her illustrations began appearing in major magazines and newspapers. Since 1995, she has created more than twenty covers for The New Yorker, each one unmistakably her own. In addition to editorial work, Ana has illustrated numerous children’s books and recently contributed to the Metropolitan Opera’s Gallery Met exhibition. Her art has been exhibited internationally in Geneva, New York, and across Spain. These Ana Juan puzzles bring her evocative visual storytelling to life—moody, magical, and endlessly compelling.
