Illustrator and Graphic Designer

In 2007, graphic designer David Ñáñez began both a retrospective and introspective journey in his hometown of Popayán, Colombia, which resulted in the creation of his second identity: Matacho. Since then, he began to immerse himself in his cultural heritage and to create art inspired by his roots and the indigenous cultures of his country.

Matacho's work is a tribute to those forgotten cultures with an added contemporary touch. Following this modern approach to ancient art has allowed him to work on identity and object customization projects and collaborate with brands like Citroën, Victorinox, and Paperwallet.
