I photograph Anna in her work space, at her flat of the Eixample district, in Barcelona. Anna is extremely friendly and outgoing. As a media communicator she feels comfortable in front of the camera. At the same time she projects tranquillity and a special balance that can also be breathed in her luminous studio, with a minimalist, almost Zen-like, decoration and a meditation corner presided by a small Buddha.

Anna Pou van den Bossche has a degree in Art History, a Master's degree in Contemporary Art and a postgraduate degree in Management and Direction of Cultural Platforms. She founded Ágora Servicios Culturales in 2000 and taught at the Instituto Cervantes in Munich until 2014 while collaborating with the Bayerischestaatsammlung and providing teacher training at the universities of Augsburg and Nuremberg-Erlangen as well as at the Colegio de Doctores y Licenciados en Filosofía y Letras de Cataluña, the Universitat de Girona and the Rosa Sensat School. She has carried out educational projects for the Barcelona Provincial Council, the Arranz-Bravo Foundation, the Vila Casas Foundation, Pueblo Español and Roca Barcelona Gallery, among others. She has written books and articles about art education and the figure of Goya in particular. She currently creates content and presents television shows on art (TV3 and BTV), teaches at the Barcelona School of Art History and is a curator at IDEAL Centre for Digital Arts in Barcelona.
