Arch Enemy

Here’s a piece I did a couple of months ago for Arch Enemy Entertainment. It’s the cover for an upcoming Sci-fi novel that will be published later this year. Lots of Fun. Thanks to Neil and William!

Sorrow Songs

This piece needs a brief introduction. In this illo I wanted to explore the word Horror. It took me a while to figure out what the word truly means to me and in the end I found myself connecting the concept to my reality, or to be more accurate, to my country’s reality. This piece was inspired by a terrifying event know as The Salado Massacre, which took place in El Salado, Colombia in February of 2000. Though it’s a complex story, I focused on one terrifying detail: during the massacre, the murderers decided to play live music with Gaitas, Tamboras and accordions, while they were slaughtering the town’s people. Years has passed by and I can’t still get my head around this event so I decided to use it as a starting point to work around the concept of Horror. This piece is not a representation; it’s more of a personal reflection, and some how a tribute to all the innocent victims that has left the nonsense, corrupted and unjustified war over my country.

It’s been a long, long time since I last updated my blog. I could say that I was in a brief hiatus, which is partially truth, but I also was busy working on some freelance commissions, a few personal pieces, meeting extremely talented artists and making some connections. Now, the “break” is over and it’s time to get busy again. So… enough with the chat.

This is a personal piece I did recently. No entirely happy with the final outcome but it was worth trying. In the process you will realize that this is not the way I usually work since the piece changed quite a lot from the initial idea.
