Emma Suárez appeared in her first film when she was 15 years old, and since then has divided her time between studying dramatic art and performing in plays, films and television projects. However, it was only in the 1990s that she began to appear in her most significant works in films by directors Julio Medem (Cows, The Red Squirrel and Earth), Juan Estelrich Jr. (Milky Way and Pintadas) and especially Pilar Miró (The Dog in the Manger and Your Name Poisons My Dreams).
