A course by Rogério Puhl
Rogério Puhl knew from a very early age what he wanted to be in life: an artist. This young Brazilian artist was admitted to the School of Arts of Chapecó at age 14, and when he was 18, he discovered the world of digital illustration. Then, he began to collaborate professionally as an illustrator, art director, and graphic designer in advertising agencies such as Agência 750 and Estúdio Alice, as the co-founder of both.
He has painted murals around the globe and he currently lives in Turin, Italy. With his PUHL studio, he uses digital illustration to work ideas of common sense in his images and transforms them in the most unusual way possible to give narrative to his drawings. He has worked with renowned national and international advertising agencies, such as Africa, MTV, McDonalds, Red Bull, AlmapBBDO, DM9DDB, JWT, Cubo.cc, Africa, NBS, Ogilvy, WMcCann, Age Isobar, Leo Burnett, LiveAD, lew'lara \ TBWA, FutureBrand, Young & Rubicam, among others.
