A course by Javi al Cuadrado
Although the technique and aesthetics of the works of Javi al Cuadrado leans towards a more classical side, his tools and the themes he immortalizes are more typical of the modern world. His career as a graphic designer, has allowed him to be in contact with the world of contemporary art, which has opened the doors to experiment with unusual materials when making realistic illustrations.
The pen is your favorite tool, a tool that uses to imitate strokes and nineteenth-century engraving ways. And, as he himself confesses, he would never have dared to draw if social networks had not existed, since his inspiration is almost only what he sees through his computer screen.
In addition, he is the creator of projects such as the Mutant Books publishing fair, the 200 publishing house or the New-papers publication.
