Pablo Salvaje is an illustrator, engraver, and printmaker born in Seville (Spain) who is currently in a stable relationship with his gouge, from which he has not separated himself for over seven years. He has used this tool to work on projects for clients such as Hyundai, Pinzat, and Desigual and has published a book, Alma Animal, which includes his wildest illustrations.
In 2015, he founded the private studio La Selva Bcn in Barcelona, a creation space where he teaches printing workshops for all audiences.
With nature as his muse, Pablo Salvaje's work aims to leave its mark, literally and figuratively, and create awareness about the planet we inhabit.
