A course by Alonso Palomino
Alonso Palomino is a graphic designer by trade, but an artist at heart. His first contact with art was the small woman who watched him from the frame on his great grandfather's bedside table; he felt so entranced by her gaze that the image stuck with him. Years later, he found out that it had been Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa who had been watching him.
Alonso's passion for portraying life through faces is reflected in his art, which focuses on portraits and the human figure. He currently works as an illustrator, designer, and independent artist.
