Early life and education

From 1995 to 2000, he studied at the Llotja Avinyò School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona. Following this, he undertook a six-year apprenticeship as a scientific illustrator at the Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona, where he gained experience with textures and anatomical illustration.[ citation needed ]
Career
In 1999, Olmos met his first publisher, Kalandraka, at the Bologna Children's Book Fair , and published his first book, Tío Lobo , with them the following year.[ citation needed ]
Since then, he has illustrated more than eighty books for a wide range of Spanish and international publishers, including Edelvives, Penguin Random House , Macmillan , Kalandraka, Oqo Editora, Ediciones B, La Galera, Teide, Anaya, Edebé, Planeta , Baula, #logosedizioni, Melhoramentos, Bromera, Editions 62, and Pirouette.[ citation needed ]

Animal advocacy
Olmos is a vegan and an animal rights advocate. He collaborates with FAADA (Foundation for the Counselling and Action in Defense of Animals), a Barcelona-based animal protection organisation. This collaboration led to the publication of two books with the Italian publisher #logosedizioni: Sinpalabras / Senzaparole (2014) and Amigos (2017).
Sinpalabras received praise from figures such as Jane Goodall and J. M. Coetzee . Olmos described the book as "one of the most important and personal" of his career.
