I have a personal attachment to this project, whereby for the first time in my career I widely embraced outlines, as well as shades, as an integral part of the project. 
 The comic book aesthetics was applied in different degrees throughout the entirety of the set. 
 More characters to come!

Illustrations made for Victorinox's contest Classic Limited Edition 2018, Places of the World.  
  For me, Berlin is a city with many faces, but primarily two: the face of its interesting inhabitants and equally interesting architecture. 
  Each side of the knife portraits this duality through clean and minimalistic shapes defined by a restricted color palette that resemblance the German flag colors.

As a consequence of the Chilean revolution of 2019, my country was reviving one of the most horrific episodes in history, only seen before in dictatorship.  
  Despite the police brutality, my people stood firmly united against injustice.  
  Deeply moved and inspired by the events, I couldn't help but grab my pen and protest from the distance by doing what I do.  
  Chile was calling me and I responded without hesitation. 

Chile is Calling.

I had the fortune to be commissioned to build a set of illustrations for the order tracking page of Delivery Hero.  
  The animated nature of the challenge was set from the beginning, allowing me from the very early stages of the development to define a radical economy of shapes and restricted to very few colors in order to achieve fluent and expensive characters in motion.  
  Vector-based illustrations animated with After Effects and Bodymovin.  
  Animations coming soon :)

The genesis of this deck comes from my motivation to spread the Mapuche culture and try to awake interest and awareness on the history of this ethnic group that occupied plenty of the Chilean territory and to which I happen to be part of. 
 I chose playing card because it is a widely ubiquitous artifact and most importantly, very flexible to be repurposed in many creative ways. 
 I had a lot of fun synchronizing the reflected versions of each illustration to make it work as a mirror and a whole at the same time.

Economy II.

This wasn’t the first time I worked with Sebastian, but it certainly was the first time we contemplated an illustration as the main driving force of a design cover.  
  Sebastian was undergoing a period of significant changes and, more importantly, distancing himself from his previous album by venturing his music into more modern idiomatic executions and compositions alike.  
  The character is a portrait from the subconsciousness point of view, about the journey into uncharted territories, into the unknown.

I’ve got some training in painting but I’m absolutely not a painter, so, I was a little bit scared when Maximo asked me to create a Queltehue (Southern lapwing) as the symbolic muse for the album cover. 
 This is a bird that was a reliable element of my childhood (as well as Maximo’s), so in the process, I had a lot of emotional flashbacks that connected me with this piece in a very meaningful way. 
 Digital painting made in Procreate.
