David Morales is a Colombian architect and notebook artist based between Barcelona and his hometown, Ibagué. It was in architecture school that he began drawing in his notebook, trying to understand the proportions and material quality of buildings that he found interesting. Gradually, these notebooks became an inseparable element of his travels and his architectural work.
In 2018 he started an art project called "One Day One Drawing" in which he depicts his surroundings, family, and concerns on a daily basis. He has also created book covers for the publishing house Planeta (Spain) and for Taller Talante (Colombia).
