Hello! Welcome to my Graphic Design Illustration Portfolio. My name is Mario, I am a freelance illustrator from Murcia (Spain). I mainly work in editorial fields such as creating covers for music albums, films and/or books, although I’m also a photographer and I’ve worked as web designer.I create from the imaginary of the subconscious, the inner self and I look for the emotional impact in my images. I move myself in between the surreal, the dark and grotesque and the conceptual languages with a bit of irony inside.I am currently open and available for freelancing, and for contracting as well inside the EU.
