Luis Santiago

Illustrator, graphic designer and Spanish artist, born in 1945. In the early 60's he began his career as an illustrator and cartoonist collaborating with various Spanish newspapers and magazines such as "La Codorniz", "Sabado Grafico", "ABC", "Hermano Lobo", "Por favor", etc. In the 70's he moved to Sweden (Uppsala) where he alternated his work as an artist and illustrator until 1983.

After a few years of work and residence in Spain, Central America and the U.S. he returned to Sweden in 1997 where he continued his work, mainly as an illustrator, although he also took part in collective art exhibitions. In 2002 he established himself in Nerja where he lives today.

Some examples of the prizes and distinctions Luis Santiago has received during his career as an artist:
* Work grant for the konstnärsnamden, Sweden, 1977.
* Grant from the Association of Swedish illustrators.
* In February 2001 he won 1st prize at a contest organized by the Tourist Office for the island of Öland for the design and creation of a corporate image for this region, southwest of Sweden.

His work is displayed in various official establishments in Uppsala, Wereld Kartoenale in Knokke- Heist, Belgium and in private collections in Spain, Sweden and Costa Rica.

Spanish Comic Art

The spanish life series emerged from the idea of using some of the most iconic and stereotypical symbols of "the spanish", and to return this view folcloric and a little bit sour, with a hint of humour and tenderness.
