Soler was born in Barbastro, Spain, on 28 December 1992. She moved to Barcelona, where she studied Fine Arts and later completed a Graphic Art course at Excola Joso.

Soler began her professional comics career in 2017 after winning the Carnet Jove Connecta't al Comic scholarship, which led to the publication of her first solo comic, Red & Blue, with Panini. She later published En la oscuridad, a graphic work based on the kidnapping of Spanish journalist Antonio Pampliega by al-Qaeda. The work was presented in Zaragoza in 2019 and received recognition at the Carlos Gimenez Awards. Soler has worked with Spanish and American publishers across comics, illustration, and graphic adaptation. Her credits include Dr. Horrible: Best Friends Forever and Plants vs. Zombies for Dark Horse Comics, as well as Ikigai in Planeta Manga. Soler provided art and colors for Season of the Bruja, a five-issue Oni Press series written by Aaron Duran and lettered by Jamie Martinez. The series was later published in Spanish by Astiberri as Temporada de brujas. Us began as a self-published fanzine and was later expanded into a 144-page color graphic novel published by Astiberri in 2021. The book recounts Soler's relationship with her partner Diana and their experience during Diana's gender transition. The English language edition of Us was published by Dark Horse Comics in 2023, translated by Silvia Perea Labayen and lettered by Joamette Gil. In 2025, Soler illustrated "Master Planner," a story written by Jenny Blake and lettered by Jodie Troutman for DC Pride 2025.

Soler's graphic novel Us is based on her relationship with her partner Diana and their experience during Diana's gender transition.
